                      Thursday, February 28, 2019

  Mr. GRIFFITH. Madam Speaker, I rise In honor of Kevin Corbett of 
Bristol, Virginia, who passed away on February 15, 2019, at the age of 
63. Kevin was filled with devotion to the people of the City of 
Bristol.
  In Kevin's younger years, he served his country by enlisting in the 
United States Army. As an Armor Crewman, he eventually rose to

Staff Sergeant. He continued his service in Bristol by joining its 
Police Department in 1982. When he retired in 2006, he was a Detective 
Lieutenant in the Criminal Investigation Division.
  Outside of his career, he remained a beloved and active presence in 
the Bristol community. I knew him for his work on the Ninth District 
Republican Committee, where he was the Bristol Unit Chairman and 
represented the district on the State Central Committee. As a member of 
St. Anne Catholic Church, he was devoted to his God and his parish.
  Kevin will be long remembered by many for his kindnesses. Befitting a 
man who followed a career path of service, he was always willing to 
help others. His survivors include his two children, Allison and Shawn, 
five grandchildren, and his sister, Jackie Collins. I offer my 
condolences to them on the loss of this fine man.
