        MOURNING THE LOSS OF GREENE COUNTY SHERIFF BRIAN TENNANT

  (Mr. RESCHENTHALER asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. RESCHENTHALER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my condolences on 
the recent passing of a true public servant from my district, Greene 
County Sheriff, Brian Tennant. All who knew Brian will remember his 
devotion to our community. He served as a police officer, emergency 
medical technician, and volunteer firefighter. In 2010, Brian risked 
his own life to save several others during a terrible house fire in 
Waynesburg.
  Shortly after this heroic act, Brian learned that he had an 
inoperable tumor. Despite this diagnosis and during medical treatment, 
Brian continued to serve. In 2014, he started his service as Greene 
County Sheriff.
  Brian fought his illness for years, all while serving his community. 
He was a devoted husband and father of four sons. I am proud to have 
met Brian, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones during 
this difficult time.
