A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS PROFOUND SORROW UPON THE PASSING OF AVERY LASHAY MCARTHUR, AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are saddened to learn of the untimely loss of Avery Lashay McArthur, a talented and generous young man, on September 8, 2020; and

Whereas, Avery, the son of Evangela and Alex McArthur III, of Bennettsville, excelled academically and athletically at Marlboro County High School. An A/B Honor roll student, he balanced a host of extracurricular activities, including Beta Club, FBLA, DECA, yearbook, jazz band, track and field, as well as being an engineering mentor, architect mentor, robotics mentor, stem mentor, and serving with distinction on the Principal's Cabinet; and

Whereas, attending the University of South Carolina, Avery aspired to become a mechanical engineer and also fulfilled his dream of joining Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., when he was number five on a Spring 2017 line of six pledges who were known as the six Descendentzz of Destruction and was initiated into the fraternity through the Zeta Zeta Chapter on March 17, 2017; and

Whereas, Avery was an enthusiastic supporter and volunteer within his community, an active member of Shiloh United Methodist, and was much beloved by his family, his friends, and brothers of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. Recognized by President Barack Obama for his many inspiring and positive attributes, Avery Lashay McArthur had an indubitably profound effect on all those who had the privilege to meet him and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, express profound sorrow upon the passing of Avery Lashay McArthur, and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Avery Lashay McArthur.
