A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 72 IN ABBEVILLE COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH SECONDARY HIGHWAY S-1-139 TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 28 "SERGEANT DANNY WILSON AND CONSTABLE DONNIE OUZTS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "SERGEANT DANNY WILSON AND CONSTABLE DONNIE OUZTS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY".

Whereas, Deputy Sergeant Danny Wilson was thirty-seven years old when he tragically lost his life in the line of duty on December 8, 2003; and

Whereas, he was a seven and one-half year veteran of the Abbeville County Sheriff's Office; and

Whereas, a native of Calhoun Falls, Sergeant Wilson was a graduate of Calhoun Falls High School where he excelled as a student athlete; and

Whereas, he was a 1996 graduate of the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy who served his country and State with distinction as a Staff Sergeant with the South Carolina National Guard for nineteen years; and

Whereas, he is survived by five children; Vatarus Tillman, Tanedra Norman, Tadiana Johnson, Destiny Wilson, and Brianna Polly; and

Whereas, Constable Donald "Donnie" McMurry Ouzts was sixty-three years old when he also tragically lost his life in the line of duty on December 8, 2003; and

Whereas, Constable Ouzts was a six and one-half year veteran of the Abbeville County Magistrate's office; and

Whereas, he was a native of Abbeville who was married for forty-three years to the former Jean Scott. They were blessed with two sons, Kevin and Chris, who both reside in Abbeville; and

Whereas, Constable Ouzts was a Class 3 graduate of the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy who served his country with distinction with the Military Police in the United States Air Force; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to forever recognize the bravery and many years of service to their communities, this State, and nation of both Deputy Sergeant Danny Wilson and Constable Donald "Donnie" McMurry Ouzts by naming a portion of South Carolina Highway 72 in Abbeville County in their honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 72 in Abbeville County from its intersection with secondary highway S-1-139 to its intersection with South Carolina Highway 28 "Sergeant Danny Wilson and Constable Donnie Ouzts Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway that contain the words:
