               HONORING THE MEMORY OF STEVEN SPICKELMIER

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Rutherford) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. RUTHERFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of the memory of 
Steven Spickelmier who passed away at the age of 77 after a long battle 
with COVID-19.
  Steve was a U.S. Navy and Air National Guard veteran, retiring as a 
master sergeant after 26 years of military service. His unmatched 
energy and positive impact on servicemen, veterans, and their families 
throughout northeast Florida displayed his incredible servant's heart.
  Among Steve's many local roles, he served as chairman of the Veterans 
Council of Duval County and chairman of the Support Committee at 
Jacksonville National Cemetery, Madam Speaker, where he championed the 
annual Wreaths Across America program and the Memorial Day service. He 
was president of the Air Force Sergeants Association, Chapter 559, and 
field operations director for Florida's Missing in America project.
  Steve attended Mandarin United Methodist Church and, among many other 
roles, he served as a church van driver for residents of a nearby 
retirement home to ensure all could worship together each Sunday.
  On behalf of the Fourth Congressional District of Florida, I offer 
condolences to all who knew and loved Steve, especially his wife 
Glenda, the love of his life, for over 33 years.
