This resolution honors James Dion Deneen, a Kentucky native who passed away on February 13, 2025, by commemorating his life of dedicated service and community involvement. The resolution highlights Deneen's 22-year military career in the United States Army as a military policeman, followed by his work at Fort Knox as an exhibit model maker and training device specialist. It recognizes his extensive community engagement, including membership in various organizations such as the Morrison Lodge, Disabled American Veterans (D.A.V.), American Legion, and serving on the Hardin County History Museum Board of Directors. The resolution emphasizes Deneen's commitment to charitable work, particularly his 40-year involvement with Kosair Charities, raising money for children's healthcare. The Senate expresses profound sympathy for his passing, extends condolences to his family (which includes three children, multiple grandchildren, and a great-grandchild), and officially adjourns in his honor. Additionally, the Senate's clerk is instructed to transmit a copy of the resolution to his son, Senator Matthew Deneen, as a formal acknowledgment of his father's life and contributions.
