                        Tuesday, January 5, 2021

  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I 
rise to honor the life of former City of Weston Commissioner, Mark 
Myers.
  I was heartbroken to learn of his passing and join my community in 
celebrating his life. Commissioner Myers was one of the original 
founders of my hometown of Weston, FL, serving on the first City 
Commission in 1997. In November 1991, Mr. Myers was elected to serve as 
Treasurer on the Board of Supervisors, the panel that helped to 
incorporate the City of Weston in 1996. His life is part of the fabric 
of our South Florida history, and we are grateful for his service.
  Mark always emphasized supporting our community's young people as 
well as improving access to the arts. He was instrumental in expanding 
cultural and economic opportunities for a new community and even helped 
design the City of Weston seal. Mr. Myers was an avid art collector and 
advocate supporting numerous organizations whose work helped improve 
our surroundings.
  Commissioner Myers was a graduate of Cornell University and also 
served our nation with distinction as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force.
  I join Mark's children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and my 
friends and neighbors in mourning the loss of an incredible advocate, 
visionary, and devoted public servant. May his memory be a blessing.
