      Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor our Texas-24 Hometown
    Hero, Blake Lindsay who worked for Envision Dallas. Blake was an
    inspiration to all who knew him, embracing his visual impairment and
    using it to advocate for others. An Envision Employee of the Year,
    National Industries for the Blind Public Policy Ambassador, and friend
    to everyone, Blake impacted thousands of people with his incredible
    energy, passion, and positivity. His zest for life was unmatched.
      For 15 years, he served North Texans in managerial roles at Envision
    Dallas, an organization providing opportunities and assistance to
    visually impaired individuals. His colleagues appreciated his love for
    people, ability to light up any room, and deep commitment to helping
    others. Among Blake's remarkable achievements, he has DJed at top 40
    stations for 22 years, known as Blazin' Blake Lindsay, and authored
    three books to promote awareness and education about the visually
    impaired community.
      Blake led a life of integrity, inspiring others to achieve their
    dreams. His passion and joy leave a lasting legacy in every life he
    touched.
