          HONORING DEPUTY INSURANCE COMMISSIONER STEVE MANDERS

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
and legacy of Deputy Insurance Commissioner Steve Manders, a dedicated 
public servant who passed away on January 17 at the age of 64.
  This recognition celebrates a man who gave 38 years of faithful 
service to the State of Georgia, rising to the role of deputy insurance 
commissioner, where he exemplified steady leadership, expertise, and 
integrity in protecting consumers and overseeing our insurance 
marketplace.
  Steve was a devoted family man. He is survived by his wife of 39 
years, Mindy; daughters Merritt and Morgan; and three cherished 
grandchildren.
  Steve found great joy in golfing, fishing, and creating lasting 
memories with his family. Steve was also a respected baseball umpire 
who proudly officiated the College World Series three times, reflecting 
his passion for the game he loved.
  Steve's life of service, family devotion, and strength is truly 
inspirational and leaves an enduring impact on our State.
  The State of Georgia is stronger because of Mr. Manders, and he will 
be missed dearly.
