Honoring Taylor for Parrish and His Heroic Actions
WHEREAS, On Friday, July 8, 2011 18 -year-old Taylor Parrish was
swimming with friends at a private pool in Milton's the Manor
Golf and Country Club after going to the movies; and
WHEREAS, 19 -year-old Jordan Lewis decided to slide into the pool, but hit
his head on the lip, stunning him underwater for more than 90
seconds before he swallowed water and blacked out; and
WHEREAS, Parrish found Lewis underwater and immediately pulled him
up, dragging him to land with the aid of friends; and
WHEREAS, Though he had no prior knowledge, began performing CPR on
Lewis using what he had gleaned from television and instinct;
and
WHEREAS, By his quick and decisive action and lack of panic, Parrish
saved his friend's life, bringing him back to a state of semi-
consciousness until paramedics could arrive;
NOW, THEREFORE, we, the Mayor and City Council of the City of Milton,
Georgia hereby dedicate and proclaim Wednesday, September 7, 2011 as Taylor
Parrish Day in the city of Milton and call this observance to the attention of all of
our citizens.
Given under my hand and seal of the City of Milton, Georgia on this 7th day of
September, 2011.
Joe Loc Mayor
