                    HONORING DEPUTY ZACKARI PARRISH

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. KEN BUCK

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 15, 2018

  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the heroism and 
bravery of Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy Zackari Parrish. On December 
31, 2017, Deputy Parrish responded with fellow law enforcement officers 
to a domestic disturbance call and subsequently fell in the line of 
duty. On behalf of myself and the 4th Congressional District of 
Colorado, I wish to express my deepest admiration to him for his 
sacrifice and my sincerest sympathy to his family, friends, and 
colleagues.
  Deputy Parrish's bravery on that morning and his attempts to talk 
down the gunman were lauded by his commanding officers. But sadly, 
Douglas County lost one of its finest on that day. We can never repay 
the sacrifice made by Deputy Parrish, but we can commit ourselves to 
never forget the price he willingly paid for us.
  Mr. Speaker, I am confident that Deputy Parrish's courage will live 
on in the lives of his family members, in the actions of his fellow 
colleagues, and in the hearts of our Colorado community. I am thankful 
for the men and women like him who stand up for righteousness in this 
world.
