                      Wednesday, October 17, 2007

  Mr. CAMP of Michigan. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor the life 
of Chad Schieber.
  Chad was a dedicated police officer, an active member of the Midland, 
Michigan, community, and a loving husband and father. Chad was born in 
Midland, but he spent much of his early life in Traverse City, 
Michigan, where he grew up and attended the police academy. In 1994, 
Chad returned to Midland and joined the Midland Police Department.
  As an officer, he consistently went above and beyond the call of 
duty. His accomplishments include being a mountain bike instructor 
within the department, helping organize the Midland Youth Law 
Enforcement Academy, serving as coordinator for the Midland County 
Crime Stoppers, implementing the department's child DNA identification 
program, and helping to establish the Midland Law Enforcement Memorial. 
For his efforts, Chad was honored with the 2006 Carl and Esther 
Gerstacker Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award by the Midland 
Police Department.
  Chad was a devoted Christian and member of the Midland Christian 
Celebration Center. Chad served on the church's board, and he and his 
wife Sarah touched many lives through the marriage ministries they 
conducted.
  Chad's biggest joy in life was his family. He leaves behind his wife, 
Sarah, of 12 years, his daughter Abigayle, and sons Noah and Micah.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to Chad Schieber for his 
life of service and extend my sincerest sympathies to his family, 
friends and loved ones.
