                REMEMBERING THOMAS JOHN ``TJ'' COSTELLO

  (Mr. HARRIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HARRIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
life of TJ Costello, a leader of the Charlotte community, who 
unexpectedly passed away on July 8, 2025.
  Mr. Costello's life was marked by sacrifice and service, first to his 
country as a marine leading combat operations in Iraq and then to our 
local community as a business leader and faithful church volunteer.
  He also served my district by guiding hundreds of young North 
Carolinians through the nomination process at the U.S. Naval Academy of 
which he is a proud alumnus.
  A devoted family man, TJ married his high school sweetheart, Julia, 
and had three beloved children, and I will remind them that 1 
Corinthians declares: No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of 
man imagines, what God has prepared for those who love Him.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues today to join me in celebrating the 
wonderful life and legacy of TJ Costello.
