________

A concurrent RESOLUTION

to request the department of transportation name the portion of south carolina highway 6 in lexington county from its intersection with united states highway 321 to its intersection with tickle weed road "stanley myers memorial highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway containing these words.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly were saddened to learn of the untimely death of Stanley L. Myers at the age of forty-seven on September 27, 2023; and

Whereas, having grown up in the Swansea area, young Stanley became the starting quarterback of the Swansea High School football team when the team won state championships. A four-year starting quarterback at The Citadel, he completed his athletic career having started forty-three out of forty-four games as quarterback and was the only player ever in the history of The Citadel to throw for more than three thousand yards and to rush for more than two thousand yards; and

Whereas, Mr. Myers earned a bachelor's degree in political science in 1998 from The Citadel and was commissioned as an Infantry Officer. In 2003, he earned a juris doctorate from the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law in Washington, D.C.; and

Whereas, a partner in the West Columbia multispecialty law firm of Moore Bradley Myers, Mr. Myers served as chairman of the legal and athletics committees on The Citadel's Board of Visitors, the college's governing board. He was a member of the American College of Trial Lawyers, a group of the nation's top one percent of lawyers in a state. Licensed to practice in state and federal courts, he was a member of the American Bar of Trial Attorneys and was honored as a South Carolina Super Lawyer, a Midlands Legal Elite, and with selection as a 2023 Leadership in Law Honoree by South Carolina Lawyers Weekly; and

Whereas, as a member of the South Carolina National Guard, he deployed as a captain to Afghanistan from 2007 to 2008 with the 218th Infantry Brigade in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. He became a Judge Advocate General in the military, working as trial counsel, defense counsel, and finally as a judge, the first ever African American to become a National Guard military judge in South Carolina. He was a Lieutenant Colonel who served as the Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) for the 59th Troop Command at McEntire Joint National Guard Base; and

Whereas, his dedication to the law and his clients was only matched by his devotion as a husband and a father. Together with his beloved wife, Tashia, he was rearing two fine young children; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to name a portion of highway in the Swansea area in honor of this outstanding son of the Palmetto State. 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, request the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 6 in Lexington County from its intersection with United States Highway 321 to its intersection with Tickle Weed Road "Stanley Myers Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this highway containing these words.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
