                     HONORING THE LIFE OF JAY PRICE

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to remember the life of my 
friend Mr. Jay Price of Casey County in the First Congressional 
District of Kentucky.
  After graduating from Western Kentucky University as an ag major, Jay 
returned home to manage his family's beef cattle farm and teach 
agriculture at Casey County High School. Jay devoted his career to 
educating nearly three decades of young farmers. His students will not 
only remember the skills they learned but the life lessons and guidance 
he provided at every opportunity.
  As an FFA adviser, teacher, and mentor, his support in and out of the 
classroom had an outsized influence on thousands of young adults. By 
connecting them with industry and State leaders, he ensured they were 
well prepared to pursue remarkable educational and career 
opportunities.
  Jay also dedicated his time to advancing the prosperity of his fellow 
farmers through his leadership in local and State organizations. His 
peers recognized his profound influence on Kentucky agriculture and 
inducted him as a member of the Kentucky Cattlemen's Association Hall 
of Fame, along with many other accolades throughout his life.
  His passion for the agriculture industry and his students is rivaled 
only by his love for his family: his wife, Carol; his daughters, Lauren 
and Lindsay; their husbands, Brian and Jon; and his

grandchildren Clay, Avery, and Hudson.
  I join with his entire family--including his mother, siblings, and a 
host of friends who he considered family--in celebrating and 
remembering his lifetime of service to others.
