WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the family of former U.S. Senator Jon Kyl announced his passing at the age of 84. Congressman Andy Biggs (AZ-05) issued the following statement:
“For almost three decades, Jon Kyl served the people of Arizona in the U.S. House and Senate with distinction, integrity, and an unwavering dedication to our state. He was an exemplary public servant who understood Arizona, fought tirelessly for our interests, and approached his responsibilities with humility and conviction. I was honored to serve alongside Senator Kyl in Congress during his return to the U.S. Senate in 2018. I greatly valued his wisdom and his deep understanding of the critical issues facing our state.
“Senator Kyl leaves behind an extraordinary legacy of service to Arizona and our nation. His example demonstrated that public service can be carried out with principle, dignity, and a genuine devotion to the people one represents. My prayers are with his beloved wife, Caryll, their children, grandchildren, and the entire Kyl family as they mourn his passing. May Senator Kyl always be remembered as a servant leader who loved Arizona and dedicated so much of his life to making our state and country stronger.”
