TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF CAPTAIN JOSEPH WAYNE ALLBRITTON, JR., OF CHARLESTON COUNTY AND TO EXTEND THEIR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS LOVING FAMILY AND HIS MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the death of Captain Joseph Wayne Allbritton, Jr., at the age of thirty-four in a tragic plane crash over the Atlantic Ocean a little more than a hundred miles east of Charleston on Thursday, October 25, 2018; and
Whereas, born in Sumter on November 12, 1983, he was the son of Joe and Lisa L. Allbritton, and he graduated from Wilson Hall; and
Whereas, Mr. Allbritton earned a bachelor's degree from Clemson University and followed his passion for adventure and blue marlins to Charleston; and
Whereas, an extensive world traveler and avid fisherman, he earned a captain's license and captained sport-fishing boats; and
Whereas, Mr. Allbritton married his beloved wife and best first mate, Diana Schmidt Allbritton, and they shared their pride and adoration for their three-year-old son, Joseph W. "Tripp" Allbritton III; and
Whereas, admired as the captain of his life, he was respected in the sport-fishing and boating-industry communities from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Bahamas to Fiji and New Zealand, but he always steered his boat home to his family; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of Joseph Allbritton and for his passion for life and for the adventure he shared with all who knew and loved him. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Captain Joseph Wayne Allbritton, Jr., of Charleston County and extend their deepest sympathy to his loving family and his many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Captain Joseph Wayne Allbritton, Jr.
