                   HONORING THE LIFE OF ANDREW SPYROW

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of a 
young man in my district.
  On February 1, Andrew Spyrow of Bettendorf passed away after a nearly 
4-year battle with brain cancer.
  Andrew was a lifelong native of Bettendorf, graduating from Our Lady 
of Lourdes and Assumption High School, where he developed many lifelong 
friendships. He loved playing sports and running, participating in 
several marathons across the country.
  I first met Andrew in 2014 when he volunteered and worked at the RNC 
victory office in Bettendorf.
  Andrew was a devoted husband, son, and father. After his cancer 
diagnosis, Andrew built a beautiful family. He married his best friend 
and love of his life, Mary. They had two beautiful children, Audrey and 
Oliver.
  No matter what was happening in his life, Andrew always put the needs 
of others first. Even when he was fighting cancer, he always made sure 
to ask how others were doing, never complaining about his diagnosis.
  Andrew's family, friends, and his RNC friends are in our prayers 
during this difficult time.
