                        Thursday, July 13, 2023

  Mr. CARSON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in remembrance of John Durm, 
Marion County Sheriff Deputy, who died in the line of duty on July 10, 
2023, at the age of 61. He is survived by his wife, Ramona, and 4 
children.
  Deputy Durm was well liked and respected by all who had the privilege 
of knowing him. Described by his colleagues and friends as genuine, 
courteous, and sincere, Deputy Durm always had a smile and joke to 
brighten someone's day.
  A shining example of what it means to serve and protect, Deputy Durm 
worked in the Marion County Sheriff's department for 38 years, 
alongside his wife. Inspired by their service, 1 of their sons is 
currently training at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy.
  Our community mourns the loss of a brave and selfless man who was 
dedicated to his family and the community he served. He lived out his 
values every day. Deputy Durm's legacy of service and friendship will 
be remembered by family, community members, and his Marion County 
Sheriff's Office coworkers. Today, I solemnly ask my colleagues to join 
me in remembering Deputy John Durm and his loved ones.
