  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.
