A concurrent RESOLUTION
To request the Department of Transportation name the portion of Powell Road in Georgetown County from its intersection with Singleton Road to Harold Road "Deputy Sheriff Leroy Gasque Sr. Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs containing these words.
Whereas, Deputy Sheriff Leroy Gasque Sr. was born on October 30, 1935, the son of the late Mr. Troy Gasque and the late Mrs. Lena White Gasque. He departed his earthly life on July 14, 2004; and
Whereas, he attended the public schools of Georgetown County and graduated from Rosemary High School in Andrews in 1957. He later graduated from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Academy; and
Whereas, at an early age, he joined St. Paul A.M.E. Church and accepted Christ as his personal savior. He was a faithful member of St. Paul and served as leader of Class #2, church secretary, member of the Four Gospels Jubilee Singers, male chorus, senior choir, and served as church custodian; and
Whereas, on December 15, 1963, he was united in holy matrimony to Miss Willie Henderson. Their union was blessed with the birth of four children; and
Whereas, for twenty-seven years he worked for the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office where he served as an auxiliary policeman before becoming a deputy sheriff; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to name a portion of highway in Georgetown County in honor of this son of South Carolina. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation name the portion of Powell Road in Georgetown County from its intersection with Singleton Road to Harold Road "Deputy Sheriff Leroy Gasque Sr. Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs containing these words.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
