  Mr. TAYLOR. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to recognize and celebrate 
the life of Carroll Homer Maxwell, Jr.
  Born to Virginia and Carroll Homer, Sr. on May 29, 1928, in Wichita 
Falls, Texas, Carroll would later relocate to Dallas where he would 
attend Highland Park High School. Mr. Maxwell would later attend Texas 
A&M University where he would foster a lifelong love of the Aggies.

  Ever the entrepreneur, Carroll would establish several businesses 
including an apartment and home development in Richardson, Texas, a 
transistor radio factory, a local television station, and a Central 
Systems among others.
  Mr. Maxwell was particularly known for his commitment to service as 
evidenced by his long-time membership and involvement with First United 
Methodist Church of McKinney. Additional efforts to serve those around 
him included membership in the McKinney Kiwanis Club, Sons of the 
American Revolution, Collin County Foster Friends, participation as a 
Court Appointed Special Advocate for Collin County, and as an active 
figure in conservative politics.
  Mr. Maxwell's impressive list of awards and accolades are a testament 
to the high esteem the community held him in. Carroll went home to our 
Lord on December 26, 2020 where he was reunited with a host of those he 
had loved in life most notably, his wife, Marilyn Maxwell.
  While many in Collin County will miss his steadfast presence and 
servant leadership, those who knew him best celebrate a life well 
lived. Now as we recognize Mr. Carroll Maxwell, Jr., I ask my 
colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me in honoring his 
rich life and legacy.
