A concurrent RESOLUTION
To request the Department of Transportation name a
one-mile portion of United States Highway 378 from the traffic circle in Saluda
County west towards the Town of Saluda "Fireman Landon 'Cale' Bodie Memorial
Highway" and erect APPROPRIATE markers or signs at this location containing
these words.
Whereas, Landon "Cale"
Bodie was described as a truly genuine soul that left a mark wherever he went. Born
February 13, 2006, the Saluda native was a 2024 graduate of Blythewood High
School where he was a member of the Technical Honor Society, certified by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a member of the National Society
of High School Scholars, and played football; and
Whereas, a faithful
member of the Future Farmers of America, Bodie had a true love for the outdoors
and agriculture. With skills acquired from his grandfather since age two, he
was an avid hunter and fisherman. A passion for working with his hands led him
to spend countless hours alongside his grandfather, Wayne Bodie, honing his
carpentry skills and creating cherished memories; and
Whereas, a member of
Beulah Baptist Church, Bodie had a strong faith in the Lord and was known to
always have his pocket Bible with him wherever he went. From the tender age of
five he had a passion to serve others and wanted to become a firefighter; and
Whereas, Bodie joined
the Circle Volunteer Fire Department after graduation at the age of eighteen
and became a devoted and dedicated firefighter. He was proud to serve his
community in this capacity and in other endeavors as needed; and
Whereas, in late
September 2024, Hurricane Helene, a deadly and devasting cyclone, swept through
the Southeastern United States causing widespread catastrophic damage. While
answering a Helene-connected service call in Saluda County on September 27,
Bodie and Chief Chad Satcher were tragically killed when a tree fell on the cab
of their fire truck; and
Whereas, Landon "Cale"
Bodie lost his life in service to others and will be remembered for his warm
smile, generous spirit, and his unwavering dedication to his family, friends,
and community. It is only fitting proper that this native son of the Palmetto
State, who gave his life in service to others is remembered by having a portion
of United States Highway 378 named in his honor.  Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate
concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General
Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation name a
one-mile portion of United States Highway 378 from the traffic circle in Saluda
County west towards the Town of Saluda "Fireman Landon 'Cale' Bodie Memorial
Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location containing
these words.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution
be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
