                          REMEMBERING ED SCOTT

  (Mr. PFLUGER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of one of our own, 
Mr. Ed Scott, whose life was taken by a senseless act of violence on 
June 12, 2026.
  Ed graduated from Lake View High School in San Angelo, and he was a 
dedicated city of Midland employee, serving his community for many 
years.
  He was well known throughout Midland and west Texas for his 
involvement in softball, where he spent over 30 years as an umpire, 
officiating recreational, high school, and collegiate games. Ed's 
impact extended far beyond the softball field. He devoted much of his 
time to mentoring young athletes and umpires, creating memories that 
will live on for generations.
  The loss of Ed Scott leaves a void that cannot be filled. He was the 
kind of man who made his community stronger simply by being a part of 
it. His love for family and dedication to softball and so many other 
activities will continue to inspire all who knew him.
  We continue to pray for his wife, Laura; his children; his 
grandchildren; and the entire community of Midland. May God grant them 
peace, and may his memory serve as a blessing to all who knew him.
