Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to commend citizens like David Cook of Cayce who use their gifts and talents to build community spirit and to serve others; and

Whereas, from elementary through high school, David Cook has overcome many challenges to play such sports as volleyball, bocce ball, and track and field through participation in Special Olympics Games; and

Whereas, after graduation from Airport High School, he began working as a front-end bagger at BI-LO Store 5578 in Cayce in 2008 and has earned a reputation as a positive, hard-working employee and a winsome member of the community; and

Whereas, Mr. Cook has served as manager for the Airport High School football team for fifteen years and part of the school's soccer team for thirteen years, running out with the teams at every game and often participating in some of the their drills; and

Whereas, in 2010, he played on his Special Olympics basketball team in Nebraska that earned a bronze medal, and in 2012, he went to Oklahoma to play on the winning Special Olympics softball team; and

Whereas, the ultimate Airport High School Eagle fan, Dave Cook never misses an athletic event at the school unless he is participating in Special Olympics events, and always believes in the school teams, taking their losses harder than the players; and

Whereas, for his overwhelming support of the school's athletic program and for his own athletic prowess, he was honored with induction into the Airport High School Athletic Hall of Fame in 2015; and

Whereas, a faithful member of Trinity Baptist Church in Cayce, Mr. Cook serves as an usher and is an active member of his Sunday school class; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition that David Cook has brought to his school and to his community, and look to hear of his continued achievements in the days to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor David Cook of Lexington County and congratulate him for his many accomplishments and his recent induction into the Airport High School Athletic Hall of Fame.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to David Cook.
