  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, l rise today to celebrate 
the life of Sheriff Jimmy Simmons of Houston, Mississippi who passed 
away on November 19, 2021 at the age of 75. I join his family, friends, 
and loved ones in mourning his loss.
  Jimmy Simmons was born on March 18, 1946 to James Travis and Venita 
Buchanan Simmons. He was a member of the National Guard. He was known 
as a horse trader, also owning rodeo bulls, mules, tracking hounds, cow 
dogs and coon dogs. He was a law enforcement officer for 30 years and 
spent 24 as a sheriff of Chickasaw County. He was a dedicated member of 
Houlka First Baptist Church. He wished to be remembered for his humor 
and humility.
  Left to cherish his memory are Liz Simmons, Annette Simmons, Chad 
Simmons, and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. I offer my 
most sincere condolences to the Chickasaw County community.
