HONORING LIFE OF BRODY JAKOB HOLT
(Mr. BURLISON asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. BURLISON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life of my
constituent, 12-year-old Brody Jakob Holt, a beloved son, loyal friend,
and admired brother.
Brody's life was tragically cut short just weeks ago in an accident
that has left his family and our community grieving. He was full of
life, always smiling, telling jokes, and bringing joy to those around
him. He loved sports, dirt bikes, learning new things, and had even
dreamed of becoming President someday.
Most of all, though, Brody had a servant's heart. Just days before
the accident, he told his mom that he wanted to be an organ donor, and
in his final act of kindness, Brody gave his heart, literally, to save
the life of an 8-year-old girl.
His parents raised an extraordinary young man. May his memory be a
blessing and may they find comfort in knowing that Brody is watching
over them from above.
