HONORING TREVON TYLER
(Ms. STEVENS asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
[[Page H9265]]
Ms. STEVENS. Madam Speaker, last week, tragedy struck the South Lyon
community in Oakland County, Michigan, as we learned of the death of
Trevon Tyler.
Just 17 years old, Trevon died from complications following knee
surgery.
Trevon was a beloved member of the South Lyon community and a member
of the South Lyon East High School football team.
His coach called him ``the nicest, most fun-loving, caring kid.'' He
``walked with a pretty big pep in his step. He always said hi to
everybody. Everybody loved him. He was a little bit of a jokester, had
this big laugh, always made you smile.''
Trevon's incredible family, friends, classmates, and teammates are
all heartbroken by his passing. His life was cut tragically short, but
he will always be remembered by that smile, his laugh, his friendship,
and his contributions to our community.
Today, we are called to live our lives more like Tre, with joy and
love at the forefront.
