REMEMBERING DAVID CASTRO
(Mrs. FLETCHER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. FLETCHER. Madam Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to honor the life of one of my constituents, David Castro.
Born and raised in Houston over the last 17 years, David was tragically killed in a road rage incident on his way home from an Astros game just earlier this month.
He had a bright future ahead of him. A National Merit Scholar semifinalist, he excelled in math and physics. He was a percussionist in the Westside High School marching band.
Today, as I extend my deep condolences to David's family and friends for their loss, I rise to share their wish that our community and our country remember David through random acts of kindness. What a beautiful way to memorialize him.
David Castro will be missed but never forgotten and will live on in acts of kindness across this country.
