REMEMBERING KYRE AMBROSE
(Ms. PRESSLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Ms. PRESSLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember Kyre Ambrose,
an incredible young man and talent who, in his far-too-short life,
touched the lives and hearts of many.
Kyre was a source of joy and love to his family, his community, and
the audiences he performed for, where he shared his calling, his true
artistic genius, his dancing with all of us. He was strength, beauty,
and poetry in motion.
Kyre was a recent graduate of Boston Arts Academy and an incredible
contributor to the cultural fabric of the Boston dance community, as
well as OrigiNation, the BAA school community, and the American Musical
and Dramatic Academy, where he was studying and performing.
Those who knew, instructed, learned from, and, most of all, danced
with Kyre described him as a remarkable spirit who exuded love and
tenderness on the stage and in his relationships.
The loss of his talent, joy, and love is deeply felt by the Mattapan
and Boston communities. We mourn the passing of this young man on
January 18, and we continue to grieve his absence.
To his beloved mom, Rina; to his father, Kyron; to his sisters, Hope
and Ky'Leah; and to his grandparents, family, and friends, thank you
for sharing the bright light and gift that Kyre was for so many of us.
His memory and legacy will continue to dance in our hearts and minds
forever.
Thank you, Kyre. We are honoring you here today on the House floor
because I do consider your loss to be a loss for our Nation.
