A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY UPON THE PASSING OF JACKIE RAY POORE OF ANDERSON COUNTY AND TO EXTEND DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly were deeply saddened by the passing of Jackie Ray Poore of Anderson County on August 28, 2017, at the age of seventy-two; and

Whereas, born in Anderson to Fred Poore and Beatrice Simmons Poore Redd, Jackie Ray Poore entered this world on April 12, 1945. He was the retired co-owner of Anderson Sheet Metal and an active member of Marshall Memorial United Methodist Church. "Big Jackie," as he was known by everyone, stood about five feet, five inches but had the heart of a giant; and

Whereas, a sports enthusiast and player from his youth, Jackie was inducted into the Anderson Recreation Department Hall of Fame in 2013. He had been involved in the City of Anderson's recreation programs since 1954 as a player, coach, and official. He participated in baseball, basketball, softball, flag football, volleyball, and swimming throughout the years. In 1954, he played his first official baseball game on what is now Brown Field #2; in 2012, on that very same field, he coached his last baseball game with four grandsons on the team; and

Whereas, he spent more than forty years encouraging, coaching, and helping children learn the meaning of good sportsmanship, whether they won or lost a game. Health concerns forced Jackie to stop coaching, but these problems didn't stop him from attending games and watching his grandchildren and their friends play; and

Whereas, he leaves to cherish his memory his beloved wife, Donna Johnson Poore; his son, Jackie Poore, Jr.; his daughters, Jennifer Poore, Julie Poore, Ginger Poore Cash (Jason), and Candice Poore; his grandchildren, Tanner Poore, Ashlee Gilreath, Abby Gilreath, Sawyer Davis, Dawson Hayes, Micah Cash, Jackson Hayes, Brylee Hayes, and Allie Cash; and a host of other family members and friends. He will be greatly missed. 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, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Jackie Ray Poore of Anderson County and extend deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mrs. Donna Johnson Poore for the family.
