“among the colleagues of ours who is not going to be rejoining us in January is Dean Heller. Senator Heller hails from Nevada. He is a good friend. He is also a valued Member of this body, and we are going to miss him. Dean is a classic servant leader who has dedicated himself to public service. He has served in all kinds of roles in his community, his State, his country, and he has always done it with class and humility. He grew up in Carson City, NV, with his five brothers and sisters. He says he started working at his dad's auto shop in middle school. Do you know what? I think he brought some of the skills he learned in middle school on the shop floor to the U.S. Senate.

He rolls up his sleeves, he gets to work, and he has the determination to make things better. That is as true as when he is working on a car as when he is working on legislative solutions in the U.S. Congress. He has been devoted to helping his community for a long time.
