Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, I rise with a heavy heart tonight to note the passing of a really good friend and colleague who I came up with in the State legislature, Mr. Sam Paredes. He was a strong, strong advocate of protecting all of our rights as Americans, focusing on the Second Amendment with his work with Gun Owners of California, Gun Owners of America, and through the foundation. Beyond that, Sam was a good man, a great patriot, and a great family man. His family was right there beside him working the events, working the efforts out there to protect people's basic freedoms on the Second Amendment. Sam was a man of strong faith who believed in God and loved Jesus and would always sign off each night to his family with: All is well in the kingdom. You don't find a lot of people like that in the political realm there who are beyond politics. The movement that he helped build for the Second Amendment is stronger because of him, and that legacy will continue long after we can't remember all about it. His unwavering commitment to liberty and, indeed, his leadership helped shape the national movement to protect, keep, and bear arms. Beyond that, the man himself, his personal attention to people to make sure they are okay, to be that friend, to be that big bear of a guy, you just don't see very many people like that in this world, especially in the realm of politics, as I mentioned. He will be severely missed. He was greatly loved by his family. It was a surprise that we lost him, and I will miss him, as well. Indeed, he was a great man and a great patriot. There is not anything I could say that even fulfills what a good man this is, so God bless his family. God bless Sam Paredes.
