Grant, we pray, O Heavenly Father, a clear and united voice to all of Your sons and daughters gathered in Your church in this decisive hour in the history of our nation so that with every trial withstood and every danger overcome—for the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and all who come after us—that this land will always be “one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 33.
A concurrent resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Morris Hood III, former member of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Whereas, The members of the Michigan Legislature were saddened to learn of the passing of our friend and former colleague, Morris Hood III. A dedicated mentor and advocate for the communities of Detroit, Dearborn, Melvindale, and our state, he was known to care deeply for others; and
Whereas, Morris Hood III, a
lifelong Detroiter, grew up in a family committed to public service. Before
getting elected to public office, he worked as a manufacturing technician at
Ford Motor Company. As a legislator, Morris Hood III valued creating
relationships on both sides of the aisle and was well-respected by his
colleagues; and
Whereas, Morris Hood III followed his father, Morris Hood Jr., into public service. He was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2002 where he served until 2008. He was a valued member of the Legislative Black Caucus. During his time in the House, he served in numerous leadership capacities, including Assistant Associate Floor Leader, chair of the House Appropriations Committee’s Fiscal Oversight and Joint Capital Outlay subcommittees, and minority vice-chair of the Insurance Committee. He was also a valued member of the Appropriation Committee’s subcommittee on Community Health, and the committees on Transportation; Employment Relations, Training, and Safety; Higher Education; Criminal Justice; Television and Oversight, and Oversight and Investigations; and
Whereas, After serving three terms in the House, Morris Hood III was elected to the Senate in 2010 where he served until 2018. He served as Minority Floor Leader, minority vice-chair of the Appropriations Committee’s Capital Outlay, Higher Education, and Retirement subcommittees, and vice-chair of the Transportation, Infrastructure Modernization, Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, and Elections and Government Reform committees. He was also a valuable member of the committees on Natural Resources, Environment and Great Lakes and Government Operations, as well as the Legislative Council and Senate Fiscal Agency Board of Governors. During his last Senate term, he underwent a kidney transplant. While still at the hospital, his colleagues celebrated the successful surgery and one colleague requested a moment of silence for the departed kidney. This experience led him to become a tireless advocate for organ donation and transplant service; and
Whereas, Throughout his fourteen years in the Legislature, he fought tirelessly and passionately for workers and students, but his ability to remain calm during the most heated debates was legendary. Morris Hood III was known for his personal connections with his colleagues. He used the loss of his wife, Angela, in 2013 to encourage others to be intentional in their expressions of love with family and friends. Often, he would give a speech before a break reminding everyone to cherish and “hug the ones you love.” His compassion and humanity were tremendous assets to the members of the Legislature and the people of this state; and
Whereas, Morris Hood III was a true public servant and community advocate who was invested in improving the lives of people. Upon his passing, we offer our condolences to his family and friends. We hope that they may find comfort in the knowledge that the community as a whole shares in their bereavement and that the legacy of Morris Hood’s contributions will long continue to enrich our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Morris Hood III, a member of the House of Representatives from 2003 to 2008 and the Senate from 2011 to 2018; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Hood family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
Senator MacGregor moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The concurrent resolution was adopted by a unanimous standing vote of the Senate.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Senators Shirkey and Hertel asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Shirkey’s statement is as follows:
For those of us who are privileged to know Morris Hood, know just how much of a loss his passing was and is to his friends and his family. And for those of us who did not know Morris, you missed out on a terrific pleasure of knowing one of the best human beings and most admirable public servants that ever could grace this institution.
Now when I personally think of Morris, I think of a man who truly knew
the value of his life and everybody else’s life. He was a vocal advocate for
all of us doing a better job of communicating with each other, to love people
we cherish in our lives, and he just did it in a way in which it made everybody
comfortable.
Morris was often the conscience of this body. He was a steady and calm voice in times of, often, heightened emotions. And he was always willing to listen and to hear his colleagues on both sides of the aisle. My very first meeting in a colleague’s office in the Senate was a meeting with Senator Hood after being elected to this body. He had his entire staff plus policy advisors in his room around the conference table and they were deeply engaged—his front desker was kind enough to allow me in—and I’m telling you he gave me, without need, complete and total attention for at least 15 minutes, engaged in the conversation. And what I found out later, was that was and remains his signature—he was a fantastic listener.
Morris relied upon life’s experiences to inform his advocacy and he was the epitome of turning adversity into triumph. It is our privilege to take a moment today to recognize and honor the life and legacy of Morris Hood. And I would ask that each and every one of us in this chamber keep the spirit of Morris in our hearts every day. Allow the example of Morris to inspire us in our interactions to help carry us and carry on his legacy in this chamber. Our heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with the family members of Morris Hood, and we are honored to have the opportunity today to recognize his life and his accomplishments.
Senator Hertel’s statement is as follows:
Morris Hood was a statesman, a fighter, and the conscience of this body.
Morris and I shared a special connection. We were both legacies coming in. And when you come in as a legacy—when your family has such a long history of public service—you have a responsibility and a duty to try and add to that. Many people come in and hurt their family’s legacy. Others spend time and build upon it. And Morris is one of those people that has built that legacy and being a great legislator and public servant was the epitome of who he was. And so we shared that together.
He was the conscience of this body and a friend to many—that doesn’t mean he wasn’t a fighter. Morris would get up and argue vociferously for his side. He fought with everything he had for the people that he served and for the things that he cared about. But what was special about Morris is that he would get up, speak truth to power, say what he believed, and then afterwards would go and go bowling with someone, or have a beer with them, or just tell them he loved them.
In these divided times, the world needs more Morris Hoods. It needs more people who are willing to fight like hell and yell and scream what they believe is correct, but also be willing to see the humanity in each of us. The last days of session, he and I had had a little bit of an argument over an issue and I was worried because Morris is my friend. The moment we ended he came up to me and said, “I want you to know how proud your dad would have been of you” and I told him that his dad felt the same.
I am supremely proud to have known Morris Hood and I can tell you that he and I joked about it a lot—when Burton Leland passed, one of his good friends—about Burton and my dad and his dad sitting at a tiki bar in heaven looking down upon all of us. I’m sure that Morris is at that bar right now. And I’m sure that he’s looking down on all of us. And it’s a duty on all of us to try and make him proud.
