                  RECOGNIZING THE LIFE OF CODY LYSTER

  (Mr. CROW asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CROW. Madam Speaker, it is my honor today to recognize the life 
of Cody Lyster, son of Kevin and Lea Ann Lyster, of Aurora, Colorado.
  Cody passed away on April 8, 2020, and is Colorado's second youngest 
victim to die from COVID-19. He was a criminal justice major at 
Colorado Mesa University, following in his father's footsteps to become 
a law enforcement officer.
  Cody was an avid baseball player. As a freshman, Cody was named team 
captain of his school's club baseball team, a first for Colorado Mesa 
University history. He helped others through his love for the game and 
had a knack for bringing people together and could be counted on during 
times of calm and times of crisis.
  Cody made his community better. In his honor, a $1 million 
scholarship was established at Colorado Mesa University, and a 
sportsmanship award and scholarship at Arapahoe Little League were 
dedicated to a life well-lived.
  Cody was an inspiration to others, and I can think of few as 
deserving of this honor today. I honor Cody and thank the Lysters for 
drawing strength from tragedy to make sure Cody's story is heard and to 
save as many lives as they can during this pandemic.
