                    HONORING THE LIFE OF IAN COCHRAN

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Madam Speaker, on October 3, Ian Alan Cochran, a talented 
young man from Brandon, Mississippi, joined our Heavenly Father after a 
courageous fight with a rare form of brain cancer.
  Ian graduated as an A student from Brandon High School in 2018, where 
he also excelled in extracurricular activities. He was a member of the 
tech club, served as president of the chess club, and was a talented 
soccer player.
  Ian was well liked for his humor, talent, and high-spirited attitude. 
Everyone who knew Ian remembers his lighthearted and friendly approach 
to life.
  As members of their Brandon Baptist Church family, my family and I 
joined Ian's parents, Joel and Kim; his sisters, Hope and Kayla; his 
grandparents; and his extended family and friends in remembering and 
celebrating his life and the positive mark he left on all of us who 
knew him.
  Madam Speaker, I now ask this body to join me in a moment of silence 
to remember Ian Cochran and to thank our Heavenly Father for the joy of 
Ian's life.
