HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF CAPTAIN DANNIE NELSON WILSON, JR.
(Mr. SUBRAMANYAM asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and
legacy of Captain Dannie Nelson Wilson, Jr., who passed away after a
brave battle with cancer.
Dannie was a devoted husband to Tara, a supportive stepfather to
Matthew, a loving father to Dannie III and Morgan, and an adoring Pap
to Lillian and Ryann.
Dannie first joined the Loudoun County Volunteer Fire and Rescue
service in 1989 as a volunteer. In 2000, he became a career
firefighter, serving our community at various stations. He rose the
ranks over his decades of service and ended up as a captain.

Captain Wilson will be remembered by colleagues for his depth of
knowledge and experience, for his toughness, and also for his heart of
gold. He expected a lot from his crew, but he also created a fun
atmosphere to work in.
Captain Wilson's legacy of service, humility, and devotion will
continue to resonate in Loudoun County and beyond.
May we keep his family in our prayers and honor his memory by
carrying forward the values he lived by.
