                    HONORING SPORTS ICON DAVE BROWN

  (Ms. DE LA CRUZ asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. DE LA CRUZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a valley 
sports icon we recently lost, Dave Brown.
  For over 40 years, Dave worked at KRGV, where he brought the 
excitement of sports to our homes, covering everything from local high 
school football and soccer games to the World Series.
  Despite health challenges, Dave never stopped working and continued 
to share his passion through segments like ``Dave's Dozen'' and 
``Football Fridays.''
  His impact went far beyond sports. Dave's tireless advocacy for 
diabetes and organ donation awareness made a lasting impact on our 
community.
  His legacy will live on through the lives he touched, the colleagues 
he mentored, and the families he loved.
  My heart goes out to his wife, Drue; his son, Jeff; his grandson, 
Nicholas; and his sister, Marlene.
  May Dave's legacy as the ``Valley's King of Sports'' endure for 
generations to come.
