“Mr. Speaker, today I rise in great sadness to recognize fallen Doraville police detective, Corporal Robert ``Shane'' Wilson, a citizen of great distinction in my district, who gave his life on behalf of the people who live there. Responding to a home invasion on November 14, he was tragically involved in a head-on collision with a drunk driver. He was off duty at the time, responding. An 8-year veteran, Officer Wilson was just 27 years old. He was a member of the SWAT team. He served his community courageously and honorably and was very well liked and respected by his colleagues and fellow officers. He was a loving husband, father, brother, and son from a family steeped in law enforcement. In his off hours he loved to play drums and piano, and he composed music and always had a smile on his face. All Georgians are affected by this tragedy, but our thoughts and prayers go out especially to his family, friends, and colleagues. Robert ``Shane'' Wilson was one of the best, and he'll be greatly missed. ____________________”
