                         Tuesday, April 9, 2019

  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
pay tribute to the life and legacy of Charles Ronald Rose, Sr.
  Mr. Rose served the Dallas community for an extraordinary 39 years, 
holding many different roles along the way. He served as a Trustee on 
the Wilmer Hutchins Independent School Board, as the Dallas County 
Justice of Peace for Precinct 8, Place 1, and held memberships in 
numerous local, state and national organizations. As Justice of Peace, 
Mr. Rose was well-respected amongst his colleagues for his fairness on 
the bench.
  Mr. Rose collected multiple accolades recognizing his service to the 
community, including the 2013 Legislative Black Caucus Texan of the 
Year, the Alpha Sigma Lambda Chapter Trailblazer Award, and the 2018 
Jubilee Productions Award of Service. However, it was not the awards 
that he worked for; rather, Mr. Rose found satisfaction in positive, 
tangible change in his community.
  Mr. Rose was preceded in death by his parents, Homer Rose, Sr. and 
Dorothy Evelyn Hollingsworth Rose; two children, Ronnie and Nikki; five 
brothers, Homer, Jr., Horace, Roger, Odell and Fred; and one sister, 
Marie Conner. His memory is survived by his wife, Gazelle; three 
daughters, Texas State Representative Toni Rose, Lachon Jacobs (nee 
Jeffrey), and Nina Hawkins (nee Everett); and many wonderful 
grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and friends.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to extend my condolences to Charles 
Rose's family, friends and loved ones. The Dallas community will miss 
him dearly.
