                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 5, 2018

  Mr. FRANCIS ROONEY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Michael Camelo, Jr. Camelo, a second-generation Cape Coral firefighter, 
who passed away on May 29th at the age of 37.
  Engineer Camelo joined the department in 2006 and served honorably in 
several critically important positions including paramedic, hazardous 
materials technician, public safety boat operator, and as member of the 
Firefighter Survival and Rapid Intervention team.
  Mr. Camelo is survived by his two children, Anna, 5, and Michael 
Camelo III, 3. Both of these young children will forever be a part of 
the Cape Coral firefighter family that Michael cared about so deeply 
throughout his entire life.
  I would like to offer my deepest condolences to the family of Mr. 
Michael Camelo, Jr. This is an immense loss to the Cape Coral Fire 
Department and to the city. Although short in years, Michael's life was 
filled with great accomplishment and a spirit of service to others--he 
and his family will be in my prayers, and the prayers of our community.
