  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the life of Ricky Allen Peebles who passed away Tuesday, January 4 at 
North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. I join his family, friends, 
and loved ones in mourning his loss.
  Born November 8, 1955 to Reverend Billy Allen Peebles and Earlene 
Edwards Peebles, Ricky grew up to earn his Bachelor's degree in 
Pastoral Ministry from Southern Assemblies of God in Waxahachie, Texas. 
He was a fan of Ole Miss Football and enjoyed traveling with family and 
friends. He served as the pastor of Canaan Assembly of God in 
Booneville and was also employed as the deputy jail administrator for 
the Prentiss County Sherriff's Department. He has served in a variety 
of churches and received many awards for his service to the sheriff's 
office.
  Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 47 years, Sarah McNair 
Peebles; daughter, Erica and Rachel; brother, Mark; sisters, Martha and 
Mitze; and granddaughter Katie.
  I am grateful for Ricky's life of service to the state of Mississippi 
and the kingdom of God. My deepest condolences are with his loved ones.
