WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt by the family and friends of Wade Cannon of the Flower Mound Fire Department, who passed away on October 1, 2022, at the age of 33, after a courageous battle with cancer; and WHEREAS, Wade Cannon served his community as a firefighter paramedic and had been with the department for six years; he enjoyed a strong bond of camaraderie with his colleagues and was recognized as an energetic and spirited young man with a bright future ahead of him; and WHEREAS, In 2020, Mr. Cannon received the devastating news that he had stage four colon cancer; refusing to give up hope, he endured multiple clinical trials and many rounds of chemotherapy, and he urged other firefighters in the department to get screened for cancer, knowing that early detection could give them a better chance of survival; his encouragement led two of his colleagues to be screened for and diagnosed with colon cancer, allowing them to begin potentially lifesaving treatment sooner; and WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Cannon enjoyed the support of a loving family, including his wife, Chelsea Cannon, whom he treasured having by his side through every challenge; and WHEREAS, Although the passing of Wade Cannon is a tremendous loss to his community, he leaves behind a record of public service that will forever remain a source of pride to his loved ones; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Wade Cannon and extend heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Wade Cannon.
