  Mr. EZELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the lives 
of 2 fallen heroes, Bay St. Louis Police officers Sergeant Steven Robin 
and Officer Branden Estorffe, who were shot and killed in the line of 
duty this past December.
  Sergeant Steven Robin served 3 years with the Bay St. Louis Police 
Department after prior service with the Hancock County Sheriff's 
Office. Officer Branden Estorffe served 2 years with the Bay St. Louis 
Police Department.
  During their law enforcement careers, both men received numerous 
accolades for their dedication to protecting their community.
  Sergeant Steven Robin received Overall Top Academic Honors with the 
Hancock County Law Enforcement Training Academy. Sergeant Robin took on 
supervisory roles during his tenures with both the Waveland Police 
Department and the Bay St. Louis Police Department, serving as a Field 
Training Officer and Sergeant with both departments.
  Officer Branden Estorffe was recognized for Top Academics with the 
Combat Readiness Training Center. Officer Estorffe also earned the 
Firearms Award with the Harrison County Law Enforcement Training 
Academy and maintained high firearms standards with the National Rifle 
Association and the Hancock County Sheriff's Office Special Response 
Team.
  Sergeant Steven Robin is survived by his wife, Amy, his parents, 
Michael and Julie Robin, his son, Brandon Boudreaux, his 2 special 
girls whom he considered daughters, Tessa Delsied and Emmaleigh Melton, 
his granddaughter, Rosie, his 2 brothers, Brian and Glenn Robin, his 
father-in-law, Lester Bush, his mother-in-law, Mary Bush, his brother-
in-law, Brad Bush, his sister-in-law, Stephanie Bush, and his 2

Estorffe, and his siblings, Lilly and Sophia Estorffe, Jordana and 
Chloe Gilkerson, and Andrew Porter, his grandparents, Rex and Lynda 
Estorffe and Tommy and Sheila Burkett, and his aunts and uncles, Lauren 
and Greg Walters, Jennifer and Jason Polk, and Chad Goodfellow.
  May we remember their selfless commitment, their service, and 
ultimately their sacrifice. Their families are in the thoughts and 
prayers of myself, this body, and everyone in Mississippi.
