EXPRESSING THE SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AT THE DEATH OF MARK GARNER, FORMER MAYOR OF MYRTLE BEACH, AND EXTENDING SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, Mark Garner, of Horry County and former mayor of Myrtle Beach, died Sunday, May 17, 1992, at the age of seventy-one; and
Whereas, born Marcellus Craig Garner, the well-known and highly respected Myrtle Beach leader was instrumental in the development of the U.S. 17 Bypass and the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, created the annual Sun Fun Festival, reorganized the Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, and founded The Sun News; and
Whereas, he is rightly credited with the designation as "the shaper of modern Myrtle Beach", having changed the once relatively quiet coastal town into the State's top tourist attraction and a thriving seaside city with national, as well as international, prominence and name recognition; and
Whereas, he was a man of vision and many talents who possessed tremendous energy and drive and had an indomitable spirit; and
Whereas, the Palmetto State has lost in Mark Garner one of its truly outstanding citizens -- an individual whose accomplishments and contributions will seldom, if ever, be either equaled or surpassed; and
Whereas, we want his family and his many friends to know that we were deeply saddened by the news of his death and that they are uppermost in our thoughts at this time. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, expresses sorrow at the death of Mark Garner, former mayor of Myrtle Beach, and extends deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. Garner's family.
