This Senate resolution honors the life and death of Chuck Norris, the martial artist and actor who passed away on March 19, 2026, at age 86 in Hawaii. The resolution traces Norris's journey from his birth in Oklahoma in 1940 through his service in the U.S. Air Force, where he learned martial arts while stationed in South Korea, to his successful career as a six-time Professional Middleweight Karate Champion. It highlights his entertainment career, including his starring role in "Walker, Texas Ranger" for nine seasons and appearances in over 20 films alongside stars like Bruce Lee, as well as his charitable work through his "Kickstart" organization that provided martial arts training to middle school students. The resolution recognizes various honors Norris received, including the Air Force Veteran of the Year Award in 2001, being named an honorary marine in 2007, and receiving honorary titles from Texas, while formally expressing the Senate's condolences and requesting that the resolution be communicated to the House of Representatives.
