                 HONORING THE LIFE OF JIMMIE MASSIE III

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 31, 2023

  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the life and 
memory of James ``Jimmie'' Pleasants Massie III, who tragically passed 
away on January 25, 2023, at age 64. My prayers are with his family and 
loved ones, especially his wife, Elizabeth, and his children, Jimmie, 
William, Becky, and John.
  Jimmie was a caring husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, 
friend, and so much more. He also had a strong passion for public 
service and cared deeply for his community. I had the honor of knowing 
Jimmie throughout his time in public service when he served as the 
Henrico County Delegate in the Virginia House of Delegates. Jimmie's 
colleagues and community remember and honor him as a strong leader and 
passionate advocate for the issues facing his community. I am 
personally grateful for his leadership in Virginia, and I know that our 
communities are stronger because of his time in office.
  Jimmie was, and is, well-loved and highly respected amongst his 
family and community, and his memory will not soon be forgotten. I pray 
that his family and loved ones may be comforted as they mourn his loss. 
Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me in honoring the life and 
legacy of Jimmie Massie.
