TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF KENNETH BRYANT ROSE OF SPARTANBURG 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 deeply saddened to learn that Bryant Rose, the longtime head athletic trainer at Spartanburg High School, died unexpectedly on Monday, January 14, 2019, at the age of fifty-eight; and
Whereas, born in Morganton, North Carolina, on January 1, 1961, he was the son of Kenneth Allen Rose and the late Kay Allman Rose, and the brother of Kyle Rose; and
Whereas, Mr. Rose served with distinction in the United States Coast Guard and earned a bachelor's and a master's degree in exercise science and sports management, both from Appalachian State University; and
Whereas, sixty-one days after he met Meredith Eaddy, they were married and remained continually devoted to one another. He and his beloved wife reared two fine sons, Bryson Eaddy Rose and Chase Bradham Rose; and
Whereas, for the last twenty-five years, Mr. Rose served as the head athletic trainer at Spartanburg High School for every athletic team and discipline offered by the school, and his sons grew up in the school's training room where they saw their father's love for his athletes first hand. His gruff demeanor and toughness not only endeared him to the athletes and his co-workers, but also perfectly suited his position as athletic trainer at the school; and
Whereas, a faithful member of First Baptist Church Spartanburg, he also served his profession as a member of the South Carolina Athletic Trainers Association and the South Carolina High School League. He was a member of the Yosef Club at his alma mater as well; and
Whereas, Mr. Rose lived a life full of devoted love for his wife and his sons and for his job and Spartanburg High School athletes; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of Bryant Rose and for the meaningful example of fairness and toughness he demonstrated for the students and athletes whose lives he touched and for all who knew 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 Kenneth Bryant Rose of Spartanburg 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 Kenneth Bryant Rose.
