A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY OF JAMES GARY BATSON OF TRAVELERS REST UPON HIS DEATH.

Whereas, James Gary Batson was a 1970 graduate of Travelers Rest High School where he was an all-state football player, a participant in the North-South All-Star games, and co-captain for the Devildogs; and

Whereas, Gary, as he was known, graduated from Carson-Newman College in Johnson City, Tennessee where he also played football; and

Whereas, he owned and operated Gary Batson Feed Store Restaurant and State Park Grocery; and

Whereas, one of his favorite things to do was to cook barbecue and he catered events around town with his Little Texas Barbecue; and

Whereas, his other love was racing cars and he was a weekly competitor at the half-mile Greenville-Pickens Speedway for several seasons; and

Whereas, he was close to realizing his dream of moving away from the short track to NASCAR'S bigger events; and

Whereas, Mr. Batson was racing in the Sportsman Division at Charlotte Motor Speedway when he was involved in an accident which caused severe injuries; and

Whereas, he later died from those injuries leaving a void in the racing community and in the lives of his friends; and

Whereas, Gary Batson, his barbecue, and his racing will be missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly express sympathy to the family of James Gary Batson of Travelers Rest upon his death.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. Batson's family.
