              HONORING TEXAS STATE TROOPER MOISES SANCHEZ

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. VICENTE GONZALEZ

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 6, 2019

  Mr. GONZALEZ of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
of Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Moises Sanchez, who passed 
away on Saturday, August 24, 2019. Moises spent his life protecting and 
serving the people of Texas with distinction, and it is my privilege to 
commemorate his contributions to our state, community, and country 
today.
  He was a proud United States Marine Corps veteran. He also spent 18 
years with FedEx before becoming a Texas State Trooper. He coached at 
the Boys & Girls Club and was involved in self-defense classes at his 
local church.
  Moises cherished time with his family--from movie nights to barbeques 
and mountain biking. He passed away from a surgery associated with 
injuries sustained in the line of duty. Moises is survived by his wife, 
Yvonne Sanchez and his three children Zachary, Zebastian, and Zoey 
Sanchez.
  Madam Speaker, our country lost a public servant, husband, father, 
and hero this past August. It is an honor to represent brave, loyal, 
and hard-working individuals like Trooper Moises Sanchez. He was a 
source of strength in South Texas and he will be truly missed by his 
friends, family, and loved ones.
