U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) introduced a resolution today honoring the life of Corey Comperatore, who was killed during the rally and assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Saturday, July 13, in Butler, Pa. Mr. Comperatore shielded his family from gunfire during the rally, ultimately saving their lives. He leaves behind his wife, Helen, and daughters Allyson and Kaylee. Mr. Comperatore was 50 years old.
Mr. Comperatore is remembered for his dedication to his family as a "girl dad," his strong Christian faith as an active member at the Cabot Church, and as a lifetime member of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Department in Sarver, Pa., where he served as fire chief in the early 2000s. He was a 1992 graduate of Freeport High School and served ten years in the U.S. Army Reserves.
"Corey Comperatore exemplified what it means to be a man of service and sacrifice to his community, his country, and most of all, his family. This resolution is just one way Members of Congress can honor his life and pay tribute to a true hero," Rep. Kelly said. "Those who know Corey tell me he was a proud husband and father. May we continue to pray for Corey’s family and friends at this time."
More than 70 House members have co-sponsored the resolution.
