                REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF MATTHEW OSBORNE

  (Mr. CLYDE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLYDE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life of Matthew 
Osborne, a dedicated editor, family man, and cherished member of the 
northeast Georgian community, who tragically passed away last month.
  After graduating from George Washington University right here in 
D.C., he began his 25-year career in journalism as a sportswriter in 
Florida.
  Over the years, Matthew worked for several newspapers, going on to 
become

the editor of The Northeast Georgian in 2019. His love of writing and 
commitment to objectivity earned him respect, not only from his peers 
but from his local readers. Matthew won numerous State and regional 
awards for his outstanding work, and through it all, he never lost his 
passion for covering sports.
  Matthew is more than a talented reporter and editor. He was also a 
devoted husband to his wife, Samantha, a family man, and father to 
their three boys, Hunter, Cal, and Ollie.
  Mr. Speaker, may God continue to comfort Samantha and her sons, as 
well as Matthew's peers and loved ones, during this difficult time.
  Georgia's Ninth District will always remember the profound impact 
that Matthew Osborne had on his readers and on our community as a 
whole.
