                    REMEMBERING BOBBY ``BLUE'' SMITH

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of 
Bobby ``Blue'' Smith.
  On Thursday, June 22, 2023, Ware County lost not only a beloved 
member of their community but also a brave hero.
  Bobby ``Blue'' Smith was born on July 12, 1998, in Waycross, Georgia, 
to Bobby Green Smith and Crystal Blue Freeman. After he graduated from 
Pierce County High School in 2017, he began working for the Ware County 
Fire Department as well as Hodges Plumbing and Walker's Lawn Care.
  Blue was a light in his community. He was a follower of Christ who 
took every opportunity to love and uplift his family and friends as 
well as strangers.
  He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and spending quality time with his 
family, and he never missed an opportunity to ride buggies at Fat 
Daddy's ATV Park.
  Blue bravely served his community for years, and he will be deeply 
missed by everyone who was blessed enough to know and love him.
  He is survived by his parents and siblings along with many other 
relatives and friends who loved him dearly.
