The Colorado Senate on March 10 unanimously adopted Senate Joint Memorial SJM002 honoring former lawmaker Louis H. Entz, who died Dec. 10, 2025.
Minority Leader Simpson moved adoption of the memorial and members recited Entz’s decadeslong record in the legislature, military service and community leadership. "What a fixture he's been for our country, serving in the armed forces in the Korean War," Simpson said, praising Entz’s work on water law and rural issues.
Representative Martinez, who addressed the chamber during a recess, recalled working with Entz on veterans' issues and described him as a persistent advocate for veterans homes and historic cemeteries: "I had the honor of knowing Senator Entz," Martinez said.
The clerk read the memorial at length, detailing Entz’s early life in Monte Vista, wartime service, successive terms in the Colorado House and Senate, leadership on water and agriculture policy, awards and family survivors. After a roll call, the memorial passed 35-0. The Senate observed a moment of silence, the roll call was added as cosponsors and members greeted Entz’s family in the gallery.
