 HONORING THE LIFE OF FORT BEND COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY DAVID FONTENOT

  (Mr. NEHLS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. NEHLS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to a good friend, 
Fort Bend County Sheriff's Deputy David Fontenot.
  David was a dedicated law enforcement officer with over 30 years of 
service, 26 of those years with the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office.
  David and I worked many long days, serving and protecting our 
community. David loved serving his community. He was not only a great 
sheriff's deputy but he was also a great friend. He was a man that I 
could depend on and a true professional.
  I am saddened to say that on March 29, my friend, David, passed away 
after a battle with cancer. My prayers are with his family and loved 
ones, especially his sister, Camile, and his brothers, Chuck, Michael, 
and Stephen. We love them.
  Mr. Speaker, I and the entire law enforcement community of Fort Bend 
County, Texas, will miss him dearly. God bless him.
