A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

EXPRESSING THE SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AT THE DEATH OF DANNY EUGENE ATKINS OF BLACKVILLE, SUPERINTENDENT OF BARNWELL SCHOOL DISTRICT #19, AND EXTENDING DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, Mr. Danny Eugene Atkins of Blackville died suddenly on December 22, 1997; and

Whereas, Mr. Atkins devoted his professional career to public education in South Carolina; he served as teacher, coach, elementary school principal, and high school principal for the Blackville-Hilda Public Schools, and as Superintendent of Barnwell School District #19, over a period spanning twenty-eight years of his life; and

Whereas, he served as a committee member for the South Carolina High School League from 1988 to 1992, served as League Vice President from 1995 to 1996, as League President from July, 1996 to June, 1997, and as League Past President from July, 1997 until his death; and

Whereas, he also served as President of the Barnwell County United Way and as Chairman of the Crystal Jenkins Fund and was a member of the Barnwell County Chamber of Commerce; and

Whereas, he was the husband of Joan G. Atkins and the father of Kevin D. Atkins, who serves as a page for the Legislative Council of the General Assembly; he also was the son of Clifford L. and Blanche Cale Atkins; and

Whereas, Danny Atkins was greatly respected, admired, and loved throughout the community; the Town of Blackville and the County of Barnwell are truly better places because of the generous contributions of his time, talents, energy, and resources; he was devoted to excellence in public education in the great State of South Carolina, and he left his mark through everything he did and accomplished; while his sudden death stunned and deeply saddened the entire community, it is nevertheless felt that everyone in Blackville and Barnwell County has much to be thankful for in the person of Danny Atkins and his giving, caring, and service-oriented life. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, express sorrow at the death of Danny Eugene Atkins of Blackville, Superintendent of Barnwell School District #19, and extend deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Atkins Family.
