Governor Patrick Morrisey has directed that flags be flown at half-staff in honor of Tony Whitlow, a former State Senator and House of Delegates representative. The order comes after the announcement of Whitlow’s passing.
In a statement, Governor Morrisey said, “I am saddened to hear the news of the death of former State Senator and House of Delegates Representative Tony Whitlow. Tony dedicated his life to service, to our nation in the US Army, and then for many years to the people of West Virginia and his community in Mercer County. His career in public service was marked by a deep commitment to his constituents and a tireless work ethic. We mourn the loss of a true public servant and a dedicated West Virginian. My prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.”
Flags at the Capitol Complex in Charleston as well as all state facilities throughout Mercer County will be lowered from noon on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, until dusk on Monday, November 24, 2025.
