   REMEMBERING BRAD DEMUZIO FOR HIS SERVICE TO THE STATE OF ILLINOIS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RODNEY DAVIS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 14, 2014

  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today and join the 
rest of the state of Illinois in mourning the loss of a great public 
servant, Brad Demuzio, who passed away this week at the young age of 
50.
  Brad was born in Carlinville in 1964, to the late state Senator Vince 
Demuzio and former state Senator and current Mayor of Carlinville 
Deanna Demuzio.
  Brad followed in his family's footsteps of public service as the 
Mayor of Carlinville from 1993-2005, working in the Cook County State's 
Attorney Office from 1984-1986, as a criminal investigator for the 
Illinois Attorney General's office from 1986-1999 and most recently as 
the director of the Illinois Secretary of State Police.
  Perhaps one of Brad's greatest legacies will be his support, 
generosity and compassion for the law enforcement community, those he 
considered colleagues and friends.
  In passing, Brad leaves behind his daughter, Brooke, his son, Blake, 
his mother, and countless other family members.
  We send our thoughts and prayers to his family during this difficult 
time and thank them for Brad's service to the state of Illinois.
