Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, I rise before you today to remember and honor Randy Decker, a man of tremendous character who passed away on February 4, 2020 after a brief, yet brave battle with an aggressive illness.

The youngest of 12 children and the first to be born in a hospital, Randy was born on July 25, 1950. Randy was drafted and served in the U.S. Army. After, he attended Illinois State University where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Business. Family was always a priority for Randy. Randy was married to his beloved wife Mona Belle Decker for 49 years. Randy could always be found supporting his children, being involved in their various sports activities throughout the years. Randy spent his civilian career in sales management roles to provide for his family. In his latest years, raising and supporting his five grandchildren was one of his greatest joys. Randy will be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery later this year.

Madam Speaker, I thank Randy Decker for his service and the impact he made in his community.
