                        Thursday, March 21, 2024

  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life of Mr. 
Jeffrey Donald Jewett of Galena, Ohio, who peacefully passed away on 
January 10, 2024 with his family by his side.
  Mr. Jewett was born on February 24, 1962, in Columbus, Ohio, to Ron 
and Barbara Jewett. He began his career in the electric power industry 
and founded Jewett Electric Company in 1996. Jewett Electric has 
continued to provide the Galena community with outstanding professional 
electrical contracting services under Mr. Jewett's leadership. From an 
early age, Mr. Jewett was an avid athlete and participated in numerous 
sports, including football, volleyball, and soccer. He was a lifelong 
fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Cleveland Browns. Mr. Jewett was 
also fond of classic cars, particularly Corvettes, Chevelles, and 
Chargers, and he would always stop to admire them.
  Those who knew Mr. Jewett could testify to his love for animals. 
Along with his wonderful wife Debra, he rescued several puppies from 
the streets and provided them with a warm, loving home. His selfless 
efforts made a difference in their lives and shows his dedication to 
helping those in need. In his final years, he frequently visited his 
second home in Florida, where he planned to retire. I am deeply 
saddened to hear of his passing, and I have no doubt that his life and 
contributions have made a lasting impact on the world.
  I have requested the United States flag to be flown over our nation's 
Capitol in recognition of Mr. Jewett's compassionate and fulfilling 
life. He will be dearly missed by his friends, family, and all who knew 
him.
