               HONORING DEPUTY SHERIFF HECTOR CUEVAS, JR.

  (Mr. OBERNOLTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OBERNOLTE. Madam Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to 
honor Deputy Sheriff Hector Cuevas, Jr., of the San Bernardino County 
Sheriff's Department. Deputy Cuevas tragically lost his life in the 
line of duty on March 17 at just 36 years old.
  Hector was a selfless and caring public servant, deeply committed to 
his community both in and out of uniform. In addition to his 6 years of 
dedicated service with the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department, he 
previously served in the Upland community as a law enforcement officer.
  He was active in youth sports, mentoring young athletes through the 
Rialto football community and the San Bernardino Spartans Football 
Association.
  Hector embodied humility, generosity, and service, leaving a lasting 
impact on everyone who knew him.
  He is survived by his wife, two children, parents, and siblings. We 
mourn his loss, and we honor his memory. I ask my colleagues to join me 
in offering our deepest condolences to his family and in celebrating 
his legacy.
