A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 
NAME Gapway Drainage Bridge on US 76 IN horry COUNTY "Zachary Kyle Strickland 
bridge" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THE 
DESIGNATION.

Whereas, a native of 
Nichols, Zachary Kyle Strickland was born on July 28, 1978, to parents Jerry and Marsha Strickland. He was a 
friendly and adventurous child who loved to explore his surroundings. Growing 
up, Zachary enjoyed hunting, fishing, and playing sports, but his greatest 
passion was riding and training horses on his family's farm in Horry County. 
Some of his fondest memories were made while fishing with his younger brother, 
Zane, and their parents; and

Whereas, on May 9, 
1997, Zachary was involved in a serious automobile accident. He sustained 
numerous devastating injuries that left him a quadriplegic. Tragically, 
complications from these injuries ultimately led to his death on August 8, 
2005; and

Whereas, after eight 
years of thorough investigation, it was revealed that the vehicle Zachary was 
driving had three critical defects: faulty brakes, seatbelts, and door latches. 
As a result of these findings, vehicle manufacturers have since implemented 
safer practices in their designs, saving countless lives; and

Whereas, it would be 
only fitting and proper to pay tribute to this son of South Carolina by naming 
a portion of road in the State in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of 
Representatives concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General 
Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation 
name Gapway Drainage Bridge on US 76 in Horry County "Zachary Kyle Strickland 
Bridge" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location containing the 
designation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and presented to the 
family of Zachary Kyle Strickland.
