                     TRIBUTE TO WARREN B. LEWIS III

  Mr. BURR. Mr. President, I want to honor the life of Investigator 
Warren ``Sneak'' B. Lewis III of the Nash County Sheriff's Office. On 
June 9, 2011, Investigator Lewis' life was cut short when he was 
fatally wounded while attempting to apprehend a fugitive wanted for 
murder in Kinston, N.C. I want to take a moment to remember him as we 
near the anniversary of his death.
  Investigator Lewis began his career in law enforcement in 2002, when 
he joined the Nash County Sheriff's Office as a deputy. Through his 
hard work and dedication, he was promoted to Investigator where he 
first served with the Narcotics Division and was later assigned to the 
U.S. Marshals Service's Eastern District of North Carolina Violent 
Fugitive Task Force. On this assignment, Investigator Lewis helped the 
Task Force with the difficult and important work of locating and 
arresting fugitives throughout eastern North Carolina.
  Investigator Lewis was dedicated to protecting the people of North 
Carolina, and today we remember him as he gave his life in service to 
our State. I

want his wife Shannon Lewis, daughters Lauren and Ashley Lewis, father 
Warren Lewis, and mother Ann Lewis to know that my thoughts and prayers 
are with them on this day. I know that Investigator Lewis will be 
forever missed, and his service and sacrifice will not be forgotten.
