Former Tennessee Senator Roy Herron killed in jet ski crash: ‘Will be missed by us all’
Many of Herron’s family members and former colleagues have paid tribute in his honor."Saddened by the death of former colleague in Tennessee General Assembly, Roy Herron," Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., tweeted."Roy succumbed to injuries from jet ski accident last weekend apparently caused by negligence of another. He was bright, diligent, and honest. A politician destined for greatness.
Tennessee Senate Minority Leader Raumesh Akbari called the late Herron a"dedicated and joyful warrior for the causes he held dear." "Behind that warm smile, he was as tenacious as they come and never better than when he was fighting for public schools, affordable healthcare and working families."Tennessee House Republican Caucus Chairman Jeremy Faison said Herron was"the kind of guy that you couldn’t help but like."
"He came to my office on many occasions to lobby or debate and we would end up just sharing stories about life," Faison wrote, adding,"TN lost a true servant."Memphis mayoral candidate Van Turner extended his condolences to Herron’s family. "Senator Herron was truly a statesman and public servant and will be missed by us all," Turner wrote.Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more Fox News politics content.
