  Mr. CARSON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the life of 
Indianapolis radio legend Jerry Wade. Known by many loyal radio 
listeners as the ``Loverman,'' he was one of the most recognizable 
voices in Indianapolis media. Jerry served as host of ``The Quiet Storm 
with The Loverman Jerry Wade'' for more than 30 years on Indianapolis 
local radio station 106.7 WTLC. Wade passed away at 61 in Indianapolis 
on Monday, January 8, 2023.
  Jerry Wade lifted spirits on the airwaves and in the community. He 
was an Indianapolis resident through and through and was active in the 
community appearing in parades, radio station events, and DJ for many 
events across the city. Jerry was also the Executive Director of 
``Quality of Life,'' an Adult Day Center on the east side of 
Indianapolis, and the owner of several salons known as ``Hot Cuts'' and 
``Jerry Wade Live'' his mobile DJ service. He lived up to the title of 
Loverman as he offered date coach services and was able to connect and 
reconnect countless relationships.
  Wade was honored by several local organizations for his work over the 
years. These accolades included recognition from The Mozel Sanders, We 
Feed the Hungry program Radio Awards, and the Indiana Black Expo Radio 
Broadcast Media Awards.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the life of 
Indianapolis radio legend Jerry Wade.
