Ms. LEGER FERNANDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the memory of Ian Massey, an Electric Power Lineman for Farmer's Electric Cooperative in Clovis, New Mexico. Tragically, Ian succumbed to injuries sustained while attempting to restore power to rural residents of Curry County during damaging rain storms on September 25, 2026.
Portales High School. He cared deeply for his coworkers and friends and was always willing to lend a helping hand.
him. Ian's legacy will be one of love, friendship, faith, and family. His love of family filled their home with laughter, energy, joy, and an unwavering commitment to their wellbeing.
often unsung heroes who climb toward the danger of storms, darkness, and extreme weather to keep our modern world powered. They work in freezing ice, pouring rain, and brutal summer heat waves. Their type of work requires long hours, missed holidays, and family dinners.
This is the legacy Ian leaves for us to remember. A dedicated worker, family man, friend, and outstanding member of the community who was ready and steady whenever the call came.
