IN MEMORY OF WADE WALTERS
(Mr. WOMACK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. WOMACK. Mr. Speaker, it's with a heavy heart that I rise today to
honor the memory of a young man from my district killed in an
industrial accident at Arkansas Nuclear One power generating facility.
Wade Walters was 24. He was a Russellville, Arkansas, resident and a
graduate of Pottsville High School. He loved his job as an ironworker
at Precision Surveillance Corporation and embraced all the outdoors had
to offer, including bow fishing, hunting, shooting, canoeing, roping,
and knife collecting.
Wade is survived by his father, James Keith Walters, of Dover,
Arkansas; his mother, Susan Allen, and husband, Rusty; a sister,
Chelsy; his grandparents, Tom and Bonnie Underhill; and the love of his
life, Alyssa Alvey, all of Russellville.
Mr. Speaker, Wade gave a lot of himself. As a member of Russellville
Christian Center, Wade went on numerous mission trips to Mexico to
build housing for those in need. He had a big heart for his family and
friends and was a constant source of inspiration to all he met.
We pray for peace and understanding for his family during this
difficult time.
