                        Thursday, April 3, 2008

  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Clifton Conrad 
Curry III, who was taken from us on March 1, 2008, at just 20 years of 
age.
  Trey, as he was known, was a young man who greatly enjoyed life and 
loved the people that crossed his path. It has been said that he never 
met a person that he did not like, and, in turn, everyone loved him. 
His kindness toward others, compassion, and bear hugs for close friends 
and family will not soon be forgotten.
  Trey attended Hillsborough Community College and Tallahassee 
Community College. He was a 2006 graduate of Newsome High

School and a 2003 graduate of Brandon Academy. He was a member of both 
the Junior Varsity and Varsity football teams as a freshman at Tampa 
Catholic High School and played many seasons of South Brandon Little 
League Baseball. Trey was an avid Florida State University fan who 
enjoyed golfing with Coach Bobby Bowden and attending home football 
games with family. He was an outdoorsman who loved fishing, hunting, 
snow skiing, and golfing.
  Madam Speaker, my heart aches for Trey's family. He leaves behind his 
parents, Terry and Clif, his brother and sister, Colton and Mary Beth, 
and many other family and friends who loved him and will forever miss 
this most remarkable young man. May God bless the Curry family. We 
shall never forget Trey.
