GOP Statement on the passing of State Representative Charles Turbiville
State Republican Party Chairman Dan Lederman issued the following statement today, noting the passing of State Representative Charles Turbiville of Deadwood:
“We at the South Dakota Republican Party are terribly saddened by Representative Turbiville’s passing. He loved his family, and most certainly loved his state and community. Chuck represented District 31 in Pierre in the State House from 2005-2012, and came back in 2017 to continue his service. He was serving in the State House at the same time he was serving as Mayor of Deadwood. He leaves a huge void in our communities, and in our hearts.”
Loss of a truly fine gentleman
RIP Chuck–very nice man
So if he wins the election does Daugaard fill the spot for 2019 or the new governor?
New governor, barring any special sessions
That’s a shame. Great guy. Great legislator.
I will write a piece on Chuck. He and I were colleagues over 25 years ago. I love this guy.
Only once, in all the time we spent together on those endless, long trips, did he ever mention his time in Vietnam, and that was just in a very aside comment. Just another peek into the very humble, service-minded man he was.
He was a true gentleman! Very kind, very wise, and very good at representing his people. Nothing but honor to this man.
