A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR MAJOR KEVIN FALLAW UPON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT AFTER TWENTYFIVE YEARS OF OUTSTANDING SERVICE WITH THE CITY OF GREENWOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT AND TO WISH HIM CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
Whereas, it is altogether fitting and proper that the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina should pause in their deliberations to express their gratitude to Major Kevin Fallaw for his significant contributions to law enforcement in our State; and
Whereas, born in May 1968, Kevin is the son of Archie and JoNell Fallaw. He has a twin brother, Kenneth, as well as a sister, Kim Willis, and four other brothers: Steve, Timmy, Tony, and Tommy; and
Whereas, he graduated from Greenwood High School in 1986 and attended Anderson College where he played baseball until he suffered an injury; and
Whereas, pursuing his ambition to serve in law enforcement, Kevin Fallaw joined the City of Greenwood Police Department in 1989 and graduated from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy the following year. Major Fallaw served the majority of his law enforcement career as the head of the Detectives Division for the City of Greenwood and is currently in charge of the Administrative Division; and
Whereas, although he’s known as Major Fallaw on the police force, he’s also knows as Coach Fallaw in some circles because of his service as a volunteer coach for the area little league organization. Coach Fallaw served as the president of the Greenwood Abbeville Little League when his team won the state championship two years consecutively. A lover of sports, he also volunteers at Emerald High School, maintaining the baseball field; and
Whereas, a member of Tranquil United Methodist Church, Kevin Fallaw is the proud father of three fine children: Evan, Meagan, and Hamp Fallaw. He and his beloved wife, Laurie, have been married for twentyone years, and are blessed with the love of four adoring grandchildren: Bailey, Gage, Luke and Jax; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly deeply appreciate the steadfast dedication of Kevin Fallaw to the City of Greenwood Police Department and the safety of the citizens of Greenwood for the past twenty-five years, and wish him many years of enjoyment in his wellearned retirement. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognize and honor Major Kevin Fallaw upon the occasion of his retirement after twentyfive years of outstanding service with the City of Greenwood Police Department and wish him continued success and happiness in all his future endeavors.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Major Kevin Fallaw.
