In Lasting Memory of Daniel R. Kinley
 
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Daniel R. Kinley who passed away at the age of 46 on June 12, 2005, in Chicot County, Arkansas. Danny was born on March 14, 1959, in Wichita, Kansas. Danny distinguished himself as a terrific father, loving husband, and community hero. 

Danny, a member of Parkview Baptist Church, was a firefighter for the El Dorado Fire Department for 11 years, eventually earning the distinguished rank of Captain. Day after day, Danny risked his life in the pursuit of saving others. There is no greater civil service, no job more commendable than that of a firefighter. 

I extend my deepest sympathies to Danny's family. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Leslie; their son Braxton; their daughters Heather and Devan; mother and stepfather Maureen and Fred Buchanan; his brother Bryan Taylor of Little Rock; and his two sisters Karen and Tanya.
