On the other side of the political fence from me but a tremendous person and thus a tremendous loss.
* UPDATE: apparently the poor guy died from an aneurism or heart attack and not from the crash. It’s a small relief to think that he probably didn’t suffer.
For What It's Worth 
Horrible news. Sorry to hear it.
His father passed away only about a month and a half ago.
Prayers for his mother and sister.
This is very sad and shocking news.
Apologies . . . his father passed away in October. It just seems more recent.
He was a genuine legislator … political affiliation was never his primary motive, doing the right thing was. He will be sorely missed.
