                HONORING THE LIFE OF AGAMYRAT AGAMBAYEV

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PAUL A. GOSAR

                         Monday, April 4, 2022

  Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember and honor the life 
of Dr. Agamyrat Agambayev. This man, still in the prime of his life, 
was ruthlessly murdered in broad daylight in Tempe, Arizona. The killer 
took the life of a husband, a father, and an incredible immigrant to 
this country who was all set to start his new career working at Intel.
  This young man was loved by many and led an impressive life that will 
not go unnoticed.
  Dr. Agamyrat Agambayev was an impressive scholar receiving his second 
Ph.D. at Arizona State University. He had also recently accepted an 
engineering job at Intel that he worked so diligently to get. But most 
importantly, Dr. Agamyrat Agambayev was a friend to many, an 
extraordinary husband and a dedicated father to his two year old son. 
Dr. Agamyrat's wife, Sumeyra Agambayev states, ``He had a real bright 
future . . . he was dedicated, smart, and studied tirelessly for years 
at universities to start giving back to the community here and abroad 
in Turkmenistan.''
  I condemn the crime here, and the loss to humanity. I am appalled at 
the growing crime and homeless problems in Tempe and Phoenix. Our 
people need to be assured they can live and work in a community without 
fear of a murderous car jacker lurking to take one's life and property.
  I mourn for his young family. His son will be left with little memory 
of his father. But I hope one day his son will read these words, and 
the words of others, and know that his father was a bright star in the 
sky and made the world a better place. He lived and died with honor.
  My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones and shall Dr. 
Agamyrat Agambayev never be forgotten.
