Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn the loss of Barry Brown, who sadly passed away this August at 69 years old.

Barry was a Savannah native through and through. After graduating from Savannah High School, he dedicated over 20 years to serving the Savannah and Tybee Island communities. From serving on the planning commission, the city council, and as mayor pro tem, Barry's natural- born leadership set a valuable example for everyone around him.

Mr. Brown also faithfully served over 25 years on the Marine Rescue Squadron and belonged to both the American Legion Post 154 and the Tybee Island Republican Club.

Mr. Brown is survived by his wife, Sunni, his son, Brandon, and his four grandchildren.

We deeply honor and thank Mr. Brown for his service to the Savannah and Tybee Island communities over the years. I send my most sincere condolences to the Brown family. They along with Barry's friends and all those who were blessed to know him are in my thoughts and prayers today.
