                     PAYING TRIBUTE TO JASON ROONEY

  (Mr. MIKE GARCIA of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MIKE GARCIA of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay 
attribute to a friend, a hero, and a great American.
  Jason Rooney passed on June 11 this year, just shy of his 51st 
birthday. He is survived by his parents, Dudley and Cathy; his 
daughter, Skyler; and his three brothers, Christopher, Michael, and 
Brian.
  Growing up, Jason always put others first. He had a heart for serving 
others that ultimately led him to serve as a Los Angeles County deputy 
for over 15 years. He took great pride in being a deputy and he 
performed all of his positions with honor and with distinction. However 
his true purpose in life came on January 31, 2008, when he welcomed his 
daughter Skyler Marie into the world. Skyler is a beautiful and 
intelligent young lady and Jay's world revolved around her.
  Jason Dudley Rooney was a great brother, great son, and a great 
father. He will be missed by his family, friends, and the good people 
of Los Angeles County whom he served so well.
  Mr. Speaker, may God bless Jay Rooney, who is now by His side, and 
may God bless all of our peacekeepers.
