RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF MIKE MADDOX
______
HON. RALPH NORMAN
of south carolina
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, November 17, 2021
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the lifesaving and heroic actions of Mike Maddox of Rock Hill, South Carolina.
On the evening of August 13, 2021, Mike was enjoying a quiet evening out to dinner with his wife and members of their church family. While dining, Mike noticed a gentleman at a nearby table began choking. He quickly realized the gentleman had a complete airway obstruction and immediately sprang into action. With confidence and composure, Mike directed bystanders to call 911 while he began performing the Heimlich maneuver repeatedly until the gentleman's airway cleared. The gentleman soon resumed breathing and was then examined by EMS. Throughout the evening, Mike displayed brave yet humble leadership.
In addition to these valiant actions, Mike is also an involved and dedicated community leader. A strong man of faith, Mike is an active member of the West End Baptist Church and a Lieutenant Colonel in the South Carolina State Guard Chaplains Corps. Mike has also achieved great professional success and currently serves as a corporate Vice President with Bayview Financial.
Mike is a true example of a servant-leader. On behalf of the 5th District of South Carolina, I thank Mike for his service and wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Rock Hill is truly blessed to have him as a community guardian.
