                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 10, 2025

  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life of Mr. 
Austin Metcalf of Frisco, Texas, a young student athlete and aspiring 
leader who tragically passed away on April 2, 2025.
  Austin was a student at Frisco Memorial High School, where he was an 
honors student, accomplished leader, and star athlete on the Memorial 
Warriors football team. He maintained an impressive 4.0 GPA and 
participated in track and field to supplement his football abilities. 
Moreover, Austin was voted MVP of his football team in the last season 
and was on the path to become a prospective football recruit for 
several top universities, all at the young age of 17 years old.
  Austin's warm personality and natural leadership skills made an 
enormous impact on the lives of those around him. He was an 
exceptional, outgoing young man who lit up any room he was in with his 
smile. Outside of school and sports, Austin worked part-time at Halo 
Pizzeria in Frisco alongside his twin brother, Hunter. Together, they 
regularly attended church with their youth group and enjoyed going on 
hunting trips with their family. My heart goes out to Hunter and 
Austin's parents, Jeff and Meghan Metcalf, during this difficult 
moment. Austin's spirit and legacy will continue to inspire and guide 
us always.
  I have requested the United States flag to be flown over our Nation's 
Capitol in remembrance of Austin's wonderful life. May his memory be a 
blessing to his friends, family, and all who knew him.
