Remember that you will not always win.

Some days, the most


resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always
tomorrow after you have done your best to achieve success today.

Dear Members of AHMO

I am shocked and grieving over the untimely death of Floresville


Councilman Gerald Jimenez. But my feelings are secondary to the fact that
the City of Floresville has lost a groundbreaking advocate for equality of
the Hispanic community, economic opportunity and neighborhood safety.

Councilman Jimenez was re-elected to Floresville Place 4 in 2017. He


retired from Kelly Air Force Base and studied Business Administration at
Texas Tech University. He was the right person to give definition to the
alliance of the city and businesses: A hard worker. He shared in the vision
of economic advances and strides towards growth of the city for the
prosperity of the citizens.

Councilman Jimenez captured the essence of being an enlightened public


servant for Floresville who pushed for the advancement of our fellow
Hispanic leaders. My heart goes out to his family, his colleagues and all city
residents.

We were friends, colleagues long before we served on council together and


he will be greatly missed. He dedicated his service to the city to ensure
justice, dignity, equality and made sure to instill those values in myself.
We will certainly be impacted by the loss of Councilman Gerald Jimenez,
an excellent public servant who fought for a better Floresville.
