                  HONORING THE LIFE OF ADRIAN MURFITT

  (Mr. KIHUEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KIHUEN. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to remember the life of Adrian 
Murfitt, who went to Las Vegas on October 1 for the Route 91 festival.
  Adrian had a love for fishing. He would spend months on a commercial 
fishing boat to catch and sell fish. When it was not fishing season, he 
would repair appliances, tinker with cars, and spend time with his 
friends.
  Adrian was a very hard worker and decided to reward himself for a 
successful fishing season by traveling to Las Vegas. He loved to listen 
and sing country music with a voice that friends described as 
``beautiful.''
  He enjoyed his two dogs, Laika and Paxson, and always made sure to 
spend time with them. Adrian had many friends who remember him as being 
silly and goofy and wanting to make people laugh, no matter what.
  I would like to extend my condolences to Adrian Murfitt's family and 
friends. Please know that the city of Las Vegas, the State of Nevada, 
and the whole country grieve with you.
