A house RESOLUTION

 

to EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF George Neal Dorn, Jr., OF Lexington 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 George Neal Dorn, Jr., at the age of eighty on April 22, 2024; and

 

Whereas, born on July 6, 1943, he was the son of Kate Bracknell Dorn and George Neal Dorn, Sr., and he was reared in a loving home with three siblings: Kay Dorn Brewer, Sandy Osborne, and Johncy Dorn; and

 

Whereas, in the proud tradition of the sons of South Carolina, Mr. Dorn served his country in the United States Army, attaining the rank of Captain; and

 

Whereas, he dedicated many years of outstanding service to the South Carolina Budget Control Board and General Services before retiring; and

 

Whereas, together with his beloved wife of fifty-three years, Kathy Quintano Dorn, he reared two fine children, Michael Dorn and Julie Dorn James. He was blessed with the affection of two loving grandchildren, Trevor James and Jenna James; and

 

Whereas, Mr. Dorn will be remembered as a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, and cherished friend. His passion for God, country, family, generosity, humor, and barbequed ribs endeared him to all who knew him; and

 

Whereas, in keeping with Mr. Dorn's wishes and the tradition set by his mother, there was no formal service. Instead, he asked that friends and family would honor his memory by performing a kind deed for someone in need, spreading the same kindness and compassion he showed throughout his life. As written in Matthew 25:40, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me"; and

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of George Dorn and for the example of generosity and kindness he set for all those 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 George Neal Dorn, Jr., of Lexington 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 George Neal Dorn, Jr.
