                        Thursday, June 11, 2015

  Mr. BABIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a fine man and a 
friend, Benjamin Blythewood III. Ben passed away on Monday, June 1, 
2015, at the age of 48.
  Ben led an exemplary life that was dedicated to serving his 
community. As mayor of Woodville for six and a half years, a reliable 
member of our local Lion's Club, as well as that of countless other 
community organizations, Ben lived an inspiring life that was focused 
on helping and caring for others. Ben was also a proud Christian and a 
faithful member of the First Baptist Church of Woodville.
  My prayers and condolences go out to Ben's loving wife, Amy, his son 
Benjamin and his daughter Bryanna. Ben will be sorely missed in our 
community, but his passion and legacy will certainly live on.
