HONORING BAKER PRICE FALLS
(Mrs. MYRICK asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, I want to honor a truly amazing young man
from my district in North Carolina. Baker Price Falls spent his life
serving others and serving the Lord. He would have turned 26 today, but
sadly he passed away this year from leukemia. He spent his life doing
missions work. Whether he was working in the inner city of Philadelphia
or D.C. or doing
[[Page H4074]]
missions work over in Mexico or Alaska, he desired to be a servant for
the Lord. As a member of the Harley Davidson Owners group in Gastonia,
he spent that opportunity as well in service to the Lord. Baker was
attending the University of Nations in Kona, Hawaii, where he was
training for missions work in Africa, and in order to attend school he
sold his most prized possession, which was his Harley.
Unfortunately, before he left for Africa, he was diagnosed with
leukemia. Even in sickness he was a light and an inspiration to all who
knew him and came around him during that time. He was always smiling
and always faithful, and he was a witness of God's love even in very
difficult circumstances. A very special person, we will always remember
him.
