                        HONORING KERRY McDANIEL

  (Mr. GUTHRIE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, sadly, Kerry McDaniel passed away in 
February at just 65 years of age from COVID-19 complications.
  Kerry was described as ``can't be replaced,'' ``top-notch in every 
regard,'' and ``an exemplary model of generosity and selflessness.''
  Kerry loved serving his community and did so in various positions 
throughout the years. For almost three decades, Kerry worked for the 
Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection, and most recently, he 
was the Hart County Emergency Management Director and Solid Waste 
Coordinator.
  As a frontline responder, he worked hard to obtain personal 
protective equipment and protect Hart County from COVID-19. Throughout 
the county, Kerry was known for his service and generosity to others.
  Kerry is survived by his dear wife, Vicki; his son, Curtis; his 
daughter-in-law, Tara; his grandson, Briar Allen, and many other family 
members he loved so dearly.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to have known Kerry; he was an exemplary 
citizen. Kerry was a great friend, and he will be missed by all who 
knew him.
