             HONORING THE LIFE OF DEPUTY SHERIFF SEAN RILEY

  (Mrs. MILLER of Illinois asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
life and service of Wayne County Deputy Sheriff Sean Riley.
  Our communities in Illinois and across the Nation continue to mourn 
the loss of our fallen hero.
  Deputy Riley was called home to be with the Lord on December 29, 
2021. He was on duty, responding to assist a motorist when he was shot 
and killed.
  May God continue to comfort this family as they grieve this awful 
loss. Wayne County Sheriff Otey said, ``The only thing Sean cared about 
more than being a deputy was his family.''
  Please join me in prayer for the family of Deputy Sean Riley, the 
Wayne County Sheriff's Department, and our community in Illinois.
  Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of 
God.
