A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS PROFOUND SORROW UPON THE PASSING OF GARRETT TAZWELL BAKHSH AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Garrett Tazwell Bakhsh on January 28, 2020; and

Whereas, Garrett was born on April 11, 2001 to parents Natalie and Brad Bakhsh. He attended Coker University in Hartsville; and

Whereas, from an early age, Garrett exhibited a passion for athletics, a stubborn but fair demeanor, and an astonishing aptitude for love of family and friends. He was full of smiles and a willingness to help others; and

Whereas, Garrett had a ravenous appetite for anything his mother prepared in their always lively kitchen, and he modeled and esteemed his father's strength and stature. Brad beamed with pride when discussing Garrett's drive to succeed, whether it was studying at school or playing lacrosse; and

Whereas, Garrett played lacrosse at Coker University, where he studied Criminal Justice. He felt a responsibility to make a positive change for his community; and

Whereas, Garrett planned to continue his family business of public service and sacrifice. He intended to become a U.S. Marshal after graduating college, and he is now recognized as an honorary U. S. Marshall; and

Whereas, a dedicated friend, Garrett cultivated many life-long friendships. He loved taking care of his friends, Nico and Connor D., by giving them rides after school. His generosity and steadfast devotion to his friends will be remembered by all those who knew him, particularly Kaden, who had become like a brother in recent years; and

Whereas, Garrett was well-known for his pranks, especially on his older sister, Ciara. But his pranks were sometimes well-meaning, like in third grade when he called every Curry family residence in Baltimore Co., looking for Morgan Curry to innocently invite her over to swim; and

Whereas, in his free time, he enjoyed swimming, listening to music, sitting by bonfires, and eating pork fried rice and California rolls; and

Whereas, Garrett was preceded in death by "Nana" and by "Jake," his 120-pound Italian Mastiff; and

Whereas, Garrett leaves to cherish his memory his loving parents; his cherished younger brother, Dillion; his little sister, Nicole; his older sister, Ciara; his dear "Pop," as well as "Ga." He will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, express profound sorrow upon the passing of Garrett Tazwell Bakhsh and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Garrett Tazwell Bakhsh.
