                 IN MEMORY OF INVESTIGATOR WARREN LEWIS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. WALTER B. JONES

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 7, 2012

  Mr. JONES. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to pay tribute to a hero 
from Eastern North Carolina who was killed in the line of duty last 
June 9.
  Nash County (NC) Sheriff's Office Investigator Warren B. Lewis III 
was assigned to the United States Marshals Service's Eastern District 
of North Carolina Violent Fugitive Task Force, where he was killed in 
the line of duty in Kinston, NC, on June 9, 2011, while attempting to 
apprehend a violent fugitive wanted for murder.
  Investigator Lewis has a stellar record of service in the Nash County 
Sheriff's Office. In 2002 he began his service to the people of Nash 
County as a Deputy and was eventually promoted to Investigator and 
assigned to the Narcotics Division.
  Later assigned to the Eastern North Carolina Violent Fugitive Task 
Force, Investigator Lewis served for over 3 years coordinating, 
locating, and arresting fugitives throughout the region.
  In addition to serving the people of Nash County, Investigator Lewis 
was a family man, a great friend, and a talented water skier. He leaves 
behind a wife, Shannon, two daughters, Lauren and Ashley, and his 
parents, Warren, Jr., and Ann. This is a tragedy, as it is when any law 
enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty. But adding even more 
to the tragedy is when a family is left behind.
  On behalf of the United States House of Representatives I express my 
deepest sympathy to the family of Investigator Lewis, and thank you for 
his life of service to the people of Eastern North Carolina.
  May God continue to bless the family of Investigator Lewis, the Nash 
County Sheriff's Office, the U.S. Marshals Service, and our country.
