TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE UPON THE PASSING OF NATHANIEL ROSS PHILLIPS OF LEXINGTON ON FEBRUARY 3, 2010, AND TO EXTEND OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY, CAREGIVERS, AND MANY FRIENDS AND ADMIRERS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate were deeply saddened to learn of the sudden and unexpected death of Nathaniel Ross Phillips; and
Whereas, Nathan was born on February 12, 1998, in Lexington and was the son of Adam and Alison Phillips and the grandson of Bill and Jenny Ross of Lexington; and
Whereas, Nathan's very survival at birth was a miracle, and he spent most of his life in a wheelchair, enduring numerous surgeries and hospital visits; and
Whereas, he was forever patient through pain and discomfort and although Nathan could not see, walk, or talk, his infectious smile and determination were an inspiration to all who knew him; and
Whereas, Nathan was a member of Mount Horeb United Methodist Church in Lexington and was active in their Special Needs Ministry; and
Whereas, Nathan leaves this life at an early age and his significant impact on the lives of everyone who knew him will be forever cherished and remembered as a blessing. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Nathaniel Ross Phillips and extend their deepest sympathy to his family, caregivers, and many friends and admirers.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the family of Nathaniel Ross Phillips.
