This resolution honors the life and legacy of Mr. Abit Massey, a prominent figure in the Georgia poultry industry who served as President and President Emeritus of the Georgia Poultry Federation. The resolution highlights his significant professional achievements, including his educational background from the University of Georgia and Emory University, his service on various state boards and commissions, and his work lobbying for the poultry industry at the State Capitol. It also recognizes his personal life, noting his marriage to Kayanne, his two children Lewis and Camille, four grandchildren, and his religious service as a Deacon at the First Baptist Church in Gainesville, Georgia. The resolution mentions that Congressman Buddy Carter introduced a bill to name the USDA National Poultry Research Center in Athens after Mr. Massey, and that a Celebration of Life was held in July to honor his memory. The Senate formally resolves to honor Mr. Massey's life and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide an appropriate copy of the resolution to his family, expressing deep regret at his passing.
