  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the life and military service of Command Sergeant Major Johnny Neal 
Marlow, who passed away on August 20th at the age of 68.
  Mr. Marlow was born in Eupora, Mississippi on May 28, 1951. He 
answered the call to serve our great nation as Command Sergeant Major 
for the United States Army. He previously served with the Mississippi 
Army National Guard and was a retired Master Sgt. with the Mississippi 
Highway Safety Patrol. Command Sergeant Major Marlow set an example for 
his community by his extensive military and public service. Before he 
passed, he was currently serving as a Command Sergeant Major with the 
Mississippi State Guard, as a Carroll County Sheriffs Deputy, as the 
Carroll County Veterans Service Officer, and was the president of 
Veterans Helping Veterans in Carroll County.
  Left to cherish his memory is his wife Christy Costilow Marlow of 
Carrollton, Mississippi; his sons, Chris Marlow of Long Beach, 
Mississippi and Jeff Marlow of Ocean Springs, Mississippi; his sisters, 
Sheila Newsom, Carolyn Hodges, Peggy Brister, and Billie Garner; his 
brother Gayle Marlow; as well as eight grandchildren, one great-
grandchild and many nieces and nephews.
  Command Sergeant Major Johnny Neal Marlow's life was one of service, 
grace, love for his family, and community. He will be greatly missed by 
all whom he encountered.
