                   REMEMBERING KYLER AUSTYN WILLIAMS

  (Mr. WOMACK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. WOMACK. Mr. Speaker, as I speak, the city of Springdale, 
Arkansas, is remembering the life of 17-year-old Kyler Austyn Williams, 
a promising young student athlete from Springdale High School who died 
this past Saturday in a vehicle accident.
  He was an accomplished athlete, the star on his football team. The 
night before he died, Kyler caught 10 passes for 268 yards and three 
touchdowns against a conference opponent. But, Mr. Speaker, he was also 
a terrific young man, outstanding student, spiritual leader, role 
model.

  Our hearts are broken over his loss, and the entire Third District of 
Arkansas mourns with his parents, Tysha and Rodney Williams; his 
stepmother, Kimmy; his sisters, Makenzy, Kayden, and Lily; and his 
brothers, Bralen, Hudsyn, and Parker.
  Kyler's death leaves us all with an empty feeling and struggling to 
cope with such a tragic outcome. And when Springdale High lines up 
against its crosstown rival, Springdale Har-Ber, on Friday night, 
number 3 in red won't be on the field, but he will be on the hearts and 
minds of those who knew and loved him.
  May God bless those he leaves behind.
