                        Thursday, April 26, 2018

  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of 
Steven Sziebert, who passed away at his home in Yakima, Washington on 
February 23, 2018.
  Steve was an exemplary community member with an admirable life story. 
His family immigrated to the United States in 1957 during the Hungarian 
Revolution. He graduated from Santa Clara University and entered the 
Army,

serving 5 years as an Airborne Ranger stationed at Fort Lewis and in 
South Korea.
  At Fort Lewis, he met his wife, Marcia, relocated to the Yakima 
Valley, and quickly fell in love with Central Washington and all it had 
to offer his growing family. It was in Yakima that Steve came to 
realize his knack for construction. He spent his career managing 
projects across Washington and improving local infrastructure.
  Steve will be fondly remembered for his jokes and stories, his 
welcoming personality, his kindness, and his service to his community. 
He will be missed by many, and my prayers are with his family and 
friends during this difficult time.
