  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of 
Stephen Robert Sulentic, of Houston, who lost his twenty-month long 
battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) on December 18, 2018.
  Stephen was born in Omaha, NE on May 3, 1958 to Phyllis Ann Sulentic 
and Stephen John Sulentic. As a member of the Society of Jesus, he 
strengthened his faith and devotion to God. Stephen graduated summa cum 
laude with a Bachelor of Arts from St. Louis University and later 
acquired a Master of Arts from the University of Michigan and a Juris 
Doctorate degree from Harvard Law School. He held many positions in his 
life ranging from attorney and teacher, to school bus driver and door-
to-door salesman. Stephen served as a member of the Mount Lebanon 
Volunteer Fire Department from 1998 to 2007, where he received the 
Medal of Valor, the highest honor given by the Mount Lebanon Volunteer 
Fire Department, for going above and beyond the call of duty. Stephen 
left a legacy behind in his service to community and commitment to 
family.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, we 
mourn the loss of Stephen Robert Sulentic. We wish him fair winds and 
following seas in heaven.
