This Senate resolution honors the life and legacy of George Foreman, the legendary boxer and entrepreneur who died on March 21, 2025, in Houston, Texas. The resolution recognizes Foreman's remarkable boxing career, including winning Olympic gold in 1968, becoming world heavyweight champion twice (in 1973 and again in 1994 at age 45), and finishing with a 76-5 professional record. Beyond boxing, the resolution acknowledges his work as an ordained minister, his founding of a youth community center in Houston, and his business success with the George Foreman Grill, which sold over 100 million units worldwide. The resolution was introduced by Texas Senators Cornyn and Cruz and directs that an enrolled copy be transmitted to Foreman's family, including his wife Mary Joan of 40 years and 11 surviving children. No funding is involved as this is a commemorative resolution expressing the Senate's respect and condolences.
