                       Tuesday, September 5, 2023

  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Eddy 
Ketchersid, who retired earlier this year as a Senior Minister at the 
Branch Church in Farmers Branch. Eddy has been a positive impact on the 
city of Farmers Branch and the North Texas community at large for 60+ 
years.
  Eddy is an alumnus of Abilene Christian University and a true Texan 
at heart. He has served his community in various respects throughout 
his life. Eddy has served the city of Farmers Branch as a Community 
Minister, advocate and member of the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary 
International, and head of the Metrocrest Mayor's Prayer Breakfast. He 
has led many bible studies and prayer groups for the ministry for over 
half a century.
  I thank Eddy for going above and beyond for our community. His 
selflessness and dedication do not go unnoticed.
