A house RESOLUTION

 

TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE HONORABLE MAX T. HYDE, JR., OF SPARTANBURG COUNTY FOR HIS DEDICATED SERVICE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON BEHALF OF HIS CONSTITUENTS AND THE CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO WISH HIM MUCH SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS AS HE LEAVES THIS CHAMBER.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives learned with sincere regret that      Max T. Hyde, Jr., will depart from the House of Representatives at the conclusion of his current term; and

 

Whereas, born in Spartanburg on October 29, 1973, he is the son of Max T. Hyde, Sr., and Alicia Ruth Fusselle. He earned a bachelor's degree from Davidson College in 1995, studying abroad at Oxford University from 1993 to 1994, and a juris doctorate from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2000; and

 

Whereas, he married his beloved wife, Eliza Howell, in 2004, and together they are the parents of four fine children: Llewellyn Ruth, Max Thomas III, Eliza Rose, and Annabelle Beatrice.  A faithful member of First Presbyterian Church of Spartanburg, he serves the congregation as a deacon; and

 

Whereas, when away from his duties in the House of Representatives, he works as an attorney in Spartanburg. Deeply involved in his community, he has found time to volunteer as a member of the Rotary Club of Spartanburg since 2006, and served as its president in 2018. He also served on the Spartanburg County Commission for Higher Education from 2015 to 2017, and is a past member of the Spartanburg City Council.  He was honored with the 2019 Business Advocate Award from the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce; and

 

Whereas, he has faithfully served the citizens of Spartanburg's District 32 in the House of Representatives since 2019, most recently as a member of the Regulations and Administrative Procedures Committee and the Ways and Means Committee. Always collegial and professional, he has contributed thoughtful debate and deliberation, as well as an informed perspective, to important public policy considerations facing the Palmetto State; and

 

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives will miss the reasoned and engaged service that Max Hyde, their friend and colleague, has given to the House of Representatives, and hope that he will enjoy deep fulfillment in the years ahead.  Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend the Honorable Max T. Hyde, Jr., of Spartanburg County for his dedicated service in the House of Representatives on behalf of his constituents and the citizens of South Carolina and wish him much success and happiness as he leaves this chamber.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Honorable Max T. Hyde, Jr.
