Whereas, State Trooper Randall Lamar (Randy) Hester has died in the line of duty at the age of twenty-six; and
Whereas, he was born in Westminster, served in the United States Air Force, and was a State Trooper First Class; and

Whereas, he was an outstanding individual and an excellent law enforcement officer who made the supreme sacrifice -- namely, his life for the good of the citizens of this State; and
Whereas, we want his family and many friends to know that they are uppermost in our thoughts and prayers and have our deepest sympathy. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, express sorrow at the death of State Trooper Randall Lamar (Randy) Hester and extend sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that the Department of Highways and Public Transportation, in conjunction with the Department of Public Safety, is requested to erect an appropriate memorial marker at the scene of the accident which led to State Trooper Hester's death, to be paid for by friends of State Trooper Hester, and is further requested to consider the wishes of State Trooper Hester's family with regard to the design and placement of the memorial marker.
