A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY UPON THE PASSING OF JACKIE RAY POORE OF ANDERSON COUNTY AND TO EXTEND DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly were deeply saddened by the passing of Jackie Ray Poore of Anderson County on August 28, 2017, at the age of seventy-two; and
Whereas, born in Anderson to Fred Poore and Beatrice Simmons Poore Redd, Jackie Ray Poore entered this world on April 12, 1945.

stop coaching, but these problems didn’t stop him from attending games and watching his grandchildren and their friends play; and
Whereas, he leaves to cherish his memory his beloved wife, Donna Johnson Poore; his son, Jackie Poore, Jr.; his daughters, Jennifer Poore, Julie Poore, Ginger Poore Cash (Jason), and Candice Poore; his grandchildren, Tanner Poore, Ashlee Gilreath, Abby Gilreath, Sawyer Davis, Dawson Hayes, Micah Cash, Jackson Hayes, Brylee Hayes, and Allie Cash; and a host of other family members and friends. He will be greatly missed. 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, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Jackie Ray Poore of Anderson County and extend deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mrs. Donna Johnson Poore for the family.
