                         Tuesday, June 5, 2018

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember and 
celebrate the life of Sam Stewart, Jr. and his support of The Downtown 
Market and City of Anniston.
  Sam lived a life of public service in Anniston, Alabama and Calhoun 
County. Sam even served as an Anniston City Councilman and a candidate 
for Probate Judge. Sam was very active in the community and schools and 
was invested in making Anniston the best city it could be.
  Sam served as a charter member of The Downtown Market's original 
advisory board and helped shape the market to be the success it is 
today. Rain or shine, you could always find Sam under the big top tent 
visiting with each vendor on market days.
  Sam lived with MS, but did not let it slow him down. He was an avid 
Auburn fan and was always ready to talk football. Sam loved his family 
and his friends.
  Sam passed away on October 12, 2016. His absence is still greatly 
missed in Anniston, but his vision for Anniston lives on in The 
Downtown Market--which he was passionate about.
  On June 2nd, his life will be celebrated at The Downtown Market.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in remembering Sam Stewart and 
recognizing his hard work to make The Downtown Market a reality.
