                      Thursday, December 21, 2017

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a dear friend, Kevin 
Lynch, who, following a five-year battle with cancer, passed away this 
past week.
  Kevin was a great Hoosier, a public servant, a tremendous leader, and 
a tireless advocate in advancing southeastern Indiana. He served as 
Dearborn County Commissioner and as the president of the Ohio-Kentucky-
Indiana Regional Council of Governments.
  Kevin was a giant Reds fan and a loyal friend with a positive spirit, 
quick with a smile and an encouraging word.
  Kevin served Lawrenceburg and Dearborn County with pride, but his 
most important priority was his family. He was the loving husband to 
Mary Jo (Joey) for 27 years and the proud father of Michael. My 
thoughts and prayers are with the entire Lynch family and all those who 
knew Kevin.
  Congratulations to my good friend Kevin on a tremendous life well-
lived.
  Godspeed.

                          ____________________
