                          REMEMBERING COY LUTZ

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of 
the tragic loss and in memory of 19-year-old Coy Lutz, a young man from 
my hometown of Howard, Pennsylvania, who was killed in a New Jersey 
rodeo accident.
  Coy was a four-time national qualifier and a two-time Pennsylvania 
State champion in High School Rodeo Associations. He was also a 2015 
graduate of

the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology. He 
continued his education at the University of Tennessee at Martin, where 
he was majoring in criminal justice.
  At the University of Tennessee, Coy was also pursuing his passion for 
rodeo. Following his death, the university's rodeo coach, John Luthi, 
said, ``Even though he was only here for 1 year, his impact will always 
be felt here at UT Martin. He was a super human being who always took 
care of his business. It's hard to imagine why something like this had 
to happen, but we have faith that God is in control.''
  My thoughts and prayers remain with the Lutz family, including Coy's 
parents, Doug and Sabine, along with his sisters, Melanie and Laura.
