Today, Jennifer and I join all South Carolinians in mourning the passing of my friend, Senator Lindsey Graham. For more than three decades, Lindsey dedicated his life to serving South Carolina and our nation. From his service in the United States Air Force to the U.S. House and the United States Senate, he never stopped fighting for the people he was elected to represent. His love for South Carolina was unmistakable, and he carried our state’s values with him everywhere he went. I’ve been blessed to know Lindsey for many years. Behind the tough, relentless advocate the public saw was someone with an incredible sense of humor and an infectious laugh. He could fill a room with stories, make you laugh when you needed it most, and somehow find the right joke even in the middle of the most serious conversations. That wit was matched by an unwavering loyalty to his friends and a generosity that many people never saw. Lindsey lived a remarkable life of service, but what I’ll remember most is the friend I had the privilege to know. His counsel, his encouragement, and the countless conversations we shared over the years are memories I will always treasure. Jennifer and I are praying for Lindsey’s sister, Darline, his family, his many close friends, and the dedicated members of his staff who became like family throughout his years of service. We pray that God surrounds them with His peace, comfort, and strength in the difficult days ahead. Rest in peace, my friend. Thank you for your lifetime of faithful service to South Carolina and the United States of America. You left an indelible mark on our state, and your legacy will endure for generations to come.
