  Mr. GALLAGHER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize and honor the 
life of an outstanding public servant, Corrections Officer Kevin 
Nikolai.
  Officer Kevin Nikolai was born in Wausau to Joanne Carol (Baars) and 
Terrence Nikolai on January 26, 1982. He was raised in Kronenwetter, WI 
with his two older siblings, Kim and Scott. After graduating from 
Mosinee High School in 2000, Officer Nikolai attended the University of 
Wisconsin-Stevens Point. After graduation he began his employment with 
the Outagamie County Jail serving as a Collections Officer. Serving 
with the Outagamie County Sheriffs Office, Officer Nikolai dedicated 
his life to serving the people of Outagamie County and Northeast 
Wisconsin and I thank him for his years of unwavering service.
  Throughout Officer Nikolai's career with the Outagamie County 
Sheriff's Office, he was known by his fellow officers as the one who 
was always willing to lend a helping hand and for his ability to 
communicate with those around him. Serving as an instructor, Officer 
Nikolai positively impacted his coworkers and endeavored to leave a 
positive impact on the world. Officer Nikolai's legacy will live on and 
be remembered by everyone who knew him.
  Mr. Speaker, today the people of Northeast Wisconsin thank Officer 
Kevin Nikolai for his extraordinary service and devotion to his 
community. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, including his 
son Logan, and to all of the people who were touched by his life.
