A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERSECTION OF I-385 AND BRIDGES ROAD "TROOPER DANIEL K. REBMAN, JR. MEMORIAL INTERSECTION" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THE INTERSECTION CONTAINING THIS DESIGNATION.

Amend Title To Conform

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Trooper Daniel Keith Rebman, Jr. of the South Carolina Highway Patrol and wish to honor and remember his supreme sacrifice in the line of duty; and

Whereas, at the age of thirty-one, Trooper Rebman died a hero after his patrol vehicle was struck early in the morning of October 24, 2017. He was the fifty-first state trooper to die serving the State of South Carolina; and

Whereas, Trooper Rebman always desired to serve his community, and he began to pursue a career in law enforcement shortly after moving to Greenville in 2011. After serving as a dispatcher for the Highway Patrol for four years, he graduated from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy in 2016, at which time he was awarded the Captain Cecil Dilworth Marksmanship Award; and

Whereas, after graduation, Trooper Rebman joined the South Carolina Highway Patrol in September 2016. He began his career with Troop Six in Charleston and Berkeley before being transferred to Troop Three in Greenville. Rebman was only on the road as a trooper for about a year, but through his work as a dispatcher and his time on the road, he had developed close bonds with other troopers; and

Whereas, Trooper Rebman died as he lived, a quiet hero to his family, to his fellow troopers, to his church, and to his community. He served with pride; and

Whereas, Trooper Rebman was survived by his wife, Michelle; three young daughters, Olivia, Charlee, and Kennedy; parents, Daniel and Theresa; sister; and large extended family; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to pay tribute to the life, service, and courageous sacrifice of this distinguished son of South Carolina by naming an intersection in Greenville County in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection of I-385 and Bridges Road "SCHP Trooper Daniel Keith Rebman, Jr. Memorial Intersection" and erect appropriate markers or signs at the intersection containing this designation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Daniel K. Rebman, Jr. and the Department of Transportation.
