  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, sadly, South Carolina has 
lost a native son, C. Marshall Kibler, who was one of our state's most 
respected and admired business leaders. He fulfilled a rewarding life 
as a Southern Gentleman. He co-founded one of South Carolina's leading 
commercial real estate firms with Jeremy Wilson, now associated with 
Newmark Grubb. I especially appreciate his ability to select and mentor 
young professionals to achieve success.
  The following obituary is from The State of Columbia, S.C. on March 
15, 2016:

       Columbia.--C. Marshall Kibler passed away unexpectedly, 
     Sunday, March 13, 2016, after a brief illness. He was 
     predeceased by his parents, Clarence Marshall Kibler and 
     Eleanor VanBenthuysen Roman Kibler.
       A lifelong resident of Columbia, Marshall was a graduate of 
     A.C. Flora High School, where he played football and was a 
     member of the Dark Horseman Club. Mr. Kibler was a graduate 
     of The University of South Carolina. He was cofounder and 
     president of Wilson Kibler, Inc., a statewide commercial real 
     estate firm with offices in Columbia, Charleston, Myrtle 
     Beach and Greenville. Mr. Kibler was a founding member of The 
     Capital Rotary Club, where he served as President and was a 
     Paul Harris Fellow. His real estate designations include the 
     Society of Industrial and Office Realtor (SIOR) and Certified 
     Commercial Investment Member (CCIM). He was also actively 
     involved with the Executives' Association of Greater Columbia 
     (EAGC). Marshall served as president of The Palmetto Little 
     League in 1992, the year the Wilson Kibler team was the 
     league champions. He also served on the board of Cooperative 
     Ministry. Mr. Kibler was a member of Forest Lake Club, the 
     Pine Tree Hunt Club, the Columbia Cotillion Club, the 
     Centurion Society, the Quadrille Club, the Flamenco Club and

     years, Anna Belle Heyward Kibler; his children, Heyward 
     Haskell Kibler (Rula), Sarah Rhett Kibler Brewer (Brooks),
