Bill > SR80

This resolution honors Brandon Malone, a senior at DeSales High School in Louisville, Kentucky, for his heroic actions on January 16, 2025, at McNeely Lake. On that day, Malone heard two young girls crying for help after falling through the ice and immediately sprang into action to save them. Despite the freezing temperatures and dangerous conditions, he first rescued one girl, giving her his jacket, and then returned to save the second girl who was trapped farther out in the lake. Malone struggled through the frozen lake, punching the ice to create a path and ultimately pulling the second girl to shore just as first responders arrived. The Kentucky Senate resolution recognizes Malone's swift and courageous actions, highlighting how his quick thinking and extreme bravery saved the lives of two young girls. The resolution not only honors Malone's heroism but also directs the Senate Clerk to transmit a copy of the resolution to Senator David Yates for presentation to Brandon Malone, celebrating him as an inspiration to all Kentuckians.
