This Senate resolution honors the life and legacy of Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris , who passed away at the age of 86 on March 19, 2026. Born in Oklahoma, Norris served in the United States Air Force, where he began his martial arts training in South Korea, eventually earning a black belt and multiple championships. After an honorable discharge, he continued his martial arts career, achieving significant recognition before retiring from competition. Norris transitioned to a successful acting career, starring in over 20 movies and the popular television series "Walker, Texas Ranger" for nine seasons. He also founded "Kickstart," a charitable organization providing martial arts training to middle-school students to foster respect and discipline. The resolution concludes with the Senate expressing profound sorrow and deep regret at his passing, requesting that this sentiment be formally communicated to the House of Representatives.
