TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE WACCAMAW SWAMP BRIDGE ALONG SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 9 IN HORRY COUNTY "SERGEANT GORDON BEST MEMORIAL BRIDGE" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THESE WORDS.
Whereas, Sergeant Gordon Best, the son of Gordon and Renee Best, was born on November 12, 1990, in Myrtle Beach; and
Whereas, he tragically departed his earthly life on January 1, 2021, the result of a motor vehicle accident while on patrol with the North Myrtle Beach Public Safety Department; and
Whereas, Sergeant Best earned his associates degree in criminal justice from Horry-Georgetown Technical College and was a graduate of the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy; and
Whereas, he loved serving his community as a law enforcement officer and will be remembered as a devoted husband and father; and
Whereas, he leaves to cherish his memories his wife, Taylor Best, their children, Braxton Best and Blakely Best, and a host of other relatives and friends; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize the many good works of this fallen officer by naming a bridge in Sergeant Best's honor in his native Horry County. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation name the Waccamaw Swamp Bridge along South Carolina Highway 9 in Horry County "Sergeant Gordon Best Memorial Bridge" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location containing these words.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
