A concurrent RESOLUTION

To request the Department of Transportation 
name the portion of Powell Road in Georgetown County from its intersection with 
Singleton Road to Harold Road "Deputy Sheriff Leroy Gasque Sr. Memorial 
Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs containing these words.

Whereas, Deputy 
Sheriff Leroy Gasque Sr. was born on October 30, 1935, the son of the late Mr. 
Troy Gasque and the late Mrs. Lena White Gasque. He departed his earthly life 
on July 14, 2004; and

Whereas, he 
attended the public schools of Georgetown County and graduated from Rosemary 
High School in Andrews in 1957. He later graduated from the South Carolina Law 
Enforcement Academy; and

Whereas, at an 
early age, he joined St. Paul A.M.E. Church and accepted Christ as his personal 
savior. He was a faithful member of St. Paul and served as leader of Class #2, 
church secretary, member of the Four Gospels Jubilee Singers, male chorus, 
senior choir, and served as church custodian; and

Whereas, on 
December 15, 1963, he was united in holy matrimony to Miss Willie Henderson. 
Their union was blessed with the birth of four children; and

Whereas, for 
twenty-seven years he worked for the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office where 
he served as an auxiliary policeman before becoming a deputy sheriff; and

Whereas, it 
would be fitting and proper to name a portion of highway in Georgetown County 
in honor of this son of South Carolina. 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 Powell Road in Georgetown County from its intersection with 
Singleton Road to Harold Road "Deputy Sheriff Leroy Gasque Sr. Memorial 
Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs containing these words.

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