  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life and legacy 
of Steven Duane Wallace of Brandon, Mississippi. Steven was a lifelong 
resident of Rankin County and graduated from Mississippi State 
University in 1998. Following graduation, he taught and coached 
basketball at Pelahatchie and Simpson Academy before venturing into the 
insurance industry. In 2001, he opened Insurance Associates of Rankin 
County where he began his career of more than twenty-five years devoted 
to providing his insureds with personal, committed, and exceptional 
service.
  Steven was dedicated to his wife Charity and his children Reagan and 
Wilkes. Whether with soccer, t-ball, baseball, football, or basketball, 
Steven was always eager to assist in coaching teams, especially 
recreational football for his son. He had no greater pride than 
watching his sons compete.
  I was honored to have Steven as my landlord for my Brandon District 
Office. It was a joy to work with him. I am thankful for the legacy of 
faithfulness to his family that Steven leaves for others to see. He is 
missed.
