  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
life and service of Adaiah Curry.
  Adaiah Curry graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 
Accounting in 2008 and obtained a Master's in Business Administration 
in 2014. He was a member of the Mississippi Valley State University 
track and field team as well as men's basketball team from 2003 to 
2007. After completing his undergraduate, he worked in the Office of 
Admissions at MVSU from 2008 to 2010. He later became a Grad Assistant 
under Sean Woods MVSU Men's Head Basketball Coach and an Assistant 
Coach under Chico Potts and Andre Payne. After leaving the MVSU family, 
Adaiah Curry continued his career as a coach and teacher at Leland High 
School. Adaiah Curry later obtained a job where he currently worked at 
Amite County. While at Amite County he was fortunate enough to make a 
deep run into the state boys' basketball tournament, and later in 2022 
he was able to win a state championship in track and field. He was also 
a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the life, 
legacy, and service of Adaiah Curry.
