  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
William G. Fallin who passed away on January 4, 2025, at the age of 92.
  Mr. Fallin was born on September 9, 1932 in Thomas County, Georgia, 
and later moved to Moultrie where he graduated high school at just 15 
years old. He went on to attend Georgia Military College and Mercer 
University, earning degrees in history and law.
  He was married to his beloved wife, Barbara Vines, for 67 years, and 
together, they raised three wonderful children. A dedicated attorney, 
Mr. Fallin practiced law for over 60 years and cofounded the law firm 
Fallin & McIntosh. He also served two terms in the Georgia House of 
Representatives and chaired the Colquitt County Board of Commissioners 
for 12 years.
  Mr. Fallin left a lasting legacy, helping the construction of 
Colquitt Regional Medical Center and preserving historic landmarks in 
his community. He was deeply committed to his faith, serving as a 
deacon, Sunday schoolteacher, and choir member at First Baptist Church. 
An avid sportsman and outdoorsman, he enjoyed tennis, golf, hunting, 
and fishing. His life was celebrated on January 8, 2025, at First 
Baptist Church in his hometown.
