                               RESOLUTION


 
             Honoring the life and legacy of Diaz Bonville.

Whereas Diaz Bonville was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, and a 
        dedicated public servant for the State of Delaware;
Whereas Diaz knew everybody, and everybody knew Diaz;
Whereas, if there was a problem, people all over Delaware, but especially Kent 
        and Sussex Counties, knew they could count on Diaz to do something about 
        it;
Whereas, in his capacities with the Indian River School District, board member 
        of CHEER, Inc., president of West Side New Beginnings, Inc., cofounder 
        of the West Rehoboth Children and Youth Program, and an active member of 
        the Delaware Human and Civil Rights Commission, Diaz always put the 
        health, wellness, and education of Sussex County residents, especially 
        young people, at the forefront;
Whereas Diaz, as the Kent and Sussex County outreach coordinator in the office 
        of Congresswoman Blunt Rochester, showed up at local meetings, events, 
        and celebrations, no matter how big or small;
Whereas Diaz ensured that the voices of downstate residents were heard and 
        informed of Congresswoman Blunt Rochester's work in Congress;
Whereas Diaz provided invaluable insight because the issues he was tackling were 
        not just professional ones to him, they were personal;
Whereas Diaz was a shining example of serving one's community while never losing 
        sight of what is truly important; and
Whereas Diaz Bonville passed away on September 14, 2024, and it is fitting that 
        the House of Representatives recognizes him for his career and service 
        to the State of Delaware: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) honors the life and legacy of Diaz Bonville;
            (2) extends its heartfelt sympathies to the family and 
        friends of Diaz Bonville; and
            (3) commends Diaz Bonville for his commitment to ensuring 
        that the people of Delaware had their interests fully 
        represented in the House of Representatives.
