Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate and honor the life of a dear friend, Kevin Morse. As a husband, father to three sons, and friend to many, Kevin was a man loved by all. Whether you needed a mechanic, engineer, plumber, electrician, therapist, priest, or even a hug, Kevin would be there in an instant. He lived to help others. Kevin was a family man through and through, and he loved his wife and kids more than anything in the world. As he watched his three boys grow up into young men, he supported them all in their endeavors, attending every basketball game and cheering them on from the bleachers as loud as he could. Now, when I say cheer them on, I mean he would beat the hell out of the banisters and railings with his cane. At the time, I was cheering for Metro State and could hear his endless banging up in the stands even while down on the floor. By the end of the game, there were more dents and scratches on the cane and the entire area around him. It was kind of his signature. He was a role model for his boys, and he raised them to be kind, smart, and selfless. He served as the spiritual leader for his family and his community, exemplifying what it means to be a man of faith. He was gentle, patient, faithful, and forgiving, all the qualities of a man who you would want in a friend. I have known Kevin for many years, and the impact that he had on my life is something that cannot be explained in words.…”
