                      Thursday, September 20, 2018

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn and celebrate the life 
of Deputy Chief (Ret) Kevin Cress of Fort Bend County's Emergency 
Medical Service (FBCEMS) team.
  Deputy Chief Kress worked for the FBCEMS for many years as a part-
time paramedic before transitioning to full time in 1981. Kevin was 
promoted to Deputy Chief in 1984 and remained in that position until he 
retired in 2013. Deputy Kress completed over 35 years combined years of 
service at FBCEMS. He will receive full EMS honors at his visitation 
and memorial service. The Fort Bend community is humbled and grateful 
to Deputy Chief Kress for his outstanding commitment to service.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, we 
say goodbye to a valued public servant. Deputy Cress will be an example 
for future generations to come, and will be missed deeply. We wish him 
fair winds and following seas.
