In memory of Trooper Nicholas P. Cayton.

WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio offer our profound reverence to the family and friends of Trooper Nicholas P. Cayton on the sorrowful occasion of his death; and

WHEREAS, Nick Cayton will long be regarded as a remarkable individual who contributed a great deal to his community and state. A proud veteran of the Ohio Army National Guard, he joined the Ohio State Highway Patrol as a trooper in 2012, and he served at the Lisbon Post before transferring to the Canfield Post. In addition, he was a bagpiper for the Steel Valley Pipes and Drums and OSHP and a youth football coach. Indeed, he led an exemplary life, manifesting those virtues we all seek to emulate, and he will be remembered for his generosity, talents, and seemingly inexhaustible energy; and

WHEREAS, Nick Cayton displayed exceptional civic concern and insight, and his exemplary efforts will certainly live beyond him. The warmth and understanding he so readily extended to others, including his wife, Lynsey, and his children, Turner and Romy, will stand as a testament to his personal character, and his memory will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew him; and

WHEREAS, The devotion to duty that Nick Cayton showed in all of his endeavors earned him the genuine respect and gratitude of his colleagues and of the community he so capably served. Although there are no words to ease the sadness you are feeling, there is solace in remembering the outstanding life that touched so many; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, express a deep sense of loss and sincere regret at the death of Trooper Nicholas P. Cayton; and be it further

RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the family of Trooper Nicholas P. Cayton.
