                         Tuesday, July 31, 2018

  Mr. FRANCIS ROONEY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
life of Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller, who recently passed away at the 
age of 29.
  Officer Jobbers-Miller spent his life placing service above self. 
From 2009 to 2015, Jobbers-Miller was a respected member of the Wayne 
Fire Department in Wayne, New Jersey. Then Fort Myers was fortunate 
enough to have Adam Jobbers-Miller join their team as a devoted officer 
of the law. As soon as he began his career with the Fort Myers Police 
Department, it was apparent to all those around him that Officer 
Jobbers-Miller would stop at nothing to protect and serve the people of 
Southwest Florida.
  On Saturday, July 21st, Officer Jobbers-Miller responded to a call at 
a gas station in Fort Myers. An armed assailant at the gas station 
fired several shots at the FMPD officers, one of which struck Jobbers-
Miller. He was immediately rushed to Lee Memorial Hospital, where he 
remained in critical condition until he passed away on July 30th. His 
passing brings great sorrow not only to the Fort Myers law enforcement 
community, but to our entire Southwest Florida community.
  Every day, our officers and first responders put themselves in harm's 
way to ensure that the safety of all its citizens are protected. 
Officer Jobbers-Miller made the ultimate sacrifice to maintain this 
safety, and for that we are all immensely thankful.
  In the face of certain danger, Adam Jobbers-Miller never hesitated to 
act in a truly heroic manner. His life of selfless service was 
tragically cut short, but his tireless dedication to the welfare of 
others will forever be remembered by all who were fortunate to know 
him. Kathleen and I extend our deepest condolences to Officer Jobbers-
Miller's family, friends, and fellow officers.
