                    REMEMBERING PATRICK LEON BENNETT

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of 
Patrick Leon Bennett, who passed away on July 28, 2023, at the age of 
55.
  Patrick was born in Waycross, Georgia, and lived most of his life in 
Pierce County. He was known for being an endearing and funny person by 
many and a celebrated member of the Future Farmers of America.
  He was passionate for hunting, fishing, and coaching recreational 
football. Patrick was able to lead his teams to three State 
championships, two of which he won.
  Furthermore, Patrick was active in his teenage years in the FFA 
organization, including serving as chapter officer, a member of the 
1985 State Winner Dairy Judging Team, 1986 State Livestock Judging 
Team, and recipient of the Green Hand Degree, Chapter Farmer Degree, 
and Georgia Planter Degree.
  He will be remembered by his family and friends and his community, 
which he served well.
