SHERIFF WINDERS
(Mr. HOLDING asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HOLDING. Mr. Speaker, last week, North Carolina lost a real
leader and a good man--my loyal friend, Sheriff Carey Winders of Wayne
County. He was only 57 years old.
Carey was one of the youngest men to be elected as sheriff in Wayne
County, and 2015 would have marked his 20th year of service. He was
dedicated to the people he served and respected by all. Carey was a
lifelong member of Union Grove Free Will Baptist Church, where he met
his wife of 33 years, Teresa. Family was everything to Carey. Carey had
three daughters--Jessica, Ashley and Carianne--and two granddaughters.
Mr. Speaker, Carey was devoted to Wayne County and driven by his
faith, his family and his commitment to the citizens who put their
trust in him. While it is a dark time in Wayne County, we know that the
light of his life and his principled example will illuminate this
community in the days ahead.
