                       Thursday, January 10, 2019

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Mr. 
Scott Marvin Anderson, a compassionate man who will forever be 
remembered for his deep love of God and

his family. Scott's spirit, passion, and drive were second to none, and 
I am humbled to have known him throughout his life.
  Scott was born on April 15, 1975 in Minnesota but grew up traveling 
the country as a part of his parents' Air Force careers. He graduated 
from Missouri's Warrensburg High School before continuing to Central 
Missouri State University and Colorado Christian University. Scott 
spent much of his adult life pursuing one of his greatest passions, 
golf, by working at several golf courses in Virginia, in addition to 
others throughout the United States. Scott devoted time sharing his 
passion by serving as a teacher, coach, and caddie.
  Scott was known for his strong presence in his community: hosting the 
Eclectic Music Hour for Allegheny Mountain Radio in Bath County, 
Virginia for some time, as well as being a dedicated disciple of Bethel 
Free Will Baptist Church in Woodbridge. He was an active reader of the 
Bible as well as novels, and truly appreciated God's Word. Beyond his 
professional and community involvement, Scott will be remembered as a 
lively and animated man who loved to make other people laugh.
  I can attest that Scott touched the lives of everyone he met. He was 
truly a man of God, and I am fortunate to have called Scott a friend. I 
extend my deepest condolences to his parents, Rich and Ruth; sisters, 
Brooke and Bria; and grandmother, Sue. Scott's memory will most 
certainly be cherished by those who knew him. As it says in the book of 
James, ``Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when 
he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has 
promised to those who love him.''
  Madam Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me as we honor the 
memory of Mr. Scott Marvin Anderson.
