  Mr. TORRES of New York. Mr. Speaker, Denzel Bimpey was a beacon of 
joy and positivity in the lives of those around him. His contagious 
smile, warm spirit, and unwavering kindness touched everyone he 
encountered. He was a devoted brother, a cherished son, a beloved 
cousin, and a dear friend to many. His laughter filled rooms and his 
presence brought light to the darkest of days.
  Denzel's brothers referred to him as the star of the family. He was 
filled with charisma and this personality went perfectly with his 
wonderful sense of humor, making him an absolute joy to be around. He 
loved his family just as much as they loved him.
  His sister's words encapsulate how important Denzel was to those 
around him,

       ``Denzel's light in my life was an emotional masterpiece. 
     He, among my four protectors, stood as a pure-headed soldier, 
     radiating affection in a beautifully unique way. Denzel's 
     sensitivity to emotions, his lack of grudges, and absence of 
     envy made him profoundly special. He was the luminous star in 
     my life, my baby brother, my best friend, my love--the very 
     pulse of my being. May your journey lead you to our ancestors 
     and the heavenly embrace.''

  His spirit will live on through the love of his family and his 
community.
