Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Stevie Cupps, a devoted member of the Harbor Springs community whose presence embodied the very spirit of hometown pride.
School gymnasium. To the residents of Harbor Springs, Stevie was more than a fan, he was a fixture of the community. His bright smile and contagious energy always generated a buzz around Rams basketball. Winning or losing, Stevie could always be found courtside.
His love for Harbor Springs High School athletics was not casual; it was steadfast and informed. Stevie knew the players, the schedules, the matchups, and most importantly, how to bring people together through that shared passion. Whether it was recapping a game, celebrating a player's performance, or simply enjoying the camaraderie of a packed gym, his energy and enthusiasm was contagious.

Though his seat behind the home bench may sit empty, his impact will not. His legacy lives on in the generations of players, fans, and community members who were fortunate enough to know him.
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Michigan's 1st District, I extend my deepest condolences to the entire Cupps family. Stevie Cupps will be dearly missed, but I have no doubt that he is still cheering for the Rams from Heaven—we all know he would never miss a game.
