                        Monday, October 29, 2007

  Mr. TANCREDO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the commitment and 
dedication of Scott Marian of Denver, Colorado who passed away 
unexpectedly on October 21st, 2007. Scott was a dedicated supporter of 
conservative causes and candidates and dedicated his life to following 
a path he believed to be morally correct.
  He was active in politics for more than two decades including heading 
up a statewide initiative and running for the Colorado Legislature. 
Scott's career spanned from mortgage banking to owning his own business 
in Colorado.
  Scott's life was one of great success and great difficulties but he 
always found comfort in his faith, his family and his friends. His 
dedication to spiritual needs of himself and others led his Priest to 
say his was one of the most prepared souls to join the Heavenly Father.
  He was a great American, often spreading the positive attributes of 
capitalism and the word of God in the same breath. He inspired others 
to find their voice and express themselves in politics and faith.
  Scott leaves behind his parents Joseph and Jean Marian, as well as 
his brother Craig, sisters Susan, Michelle, and Cheryl and eight nieces 
and nephews.
