  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable student, the late Mr. Jeremiah Williams.
  Jeremiah Williams was born on January 21, 2002 in Greenville, 
Mississippi to Lashona Williams and Timothy Hawkins, Sr. Jeremiah was 
the sixth of eight children. Jeremiah's earthly journey ended on 
November 9, 2018.
  Jeremiah was known to family and friends as ``Dugga Wugga'' or 
``Dugg''. He was very passionate about sports.
  I gladly pay tribute to the memory of Jeremiah, and although it was 
short, I commend the exemplary life he lived. It was his young life 
that walked by, leaving his footprints in our hearts forever.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the life 
and accomplishments of the late Mr. Jeremiah Williams for his 
dedication to serving others and giving back to the community.
