COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Gov. Mike Kehoe has ordered United States and Missouri flags to fly at half-staff in honor of a State Representative who died on Sunday.

Flags will be lowered at government buildings in Missouri on Saturday from sunrise to sunset.

State Rep. Kenneth "Ken" Waller, 63, died on Sunday after suffering from a medical emergency.

Waller represented District 114, which includes part of Jefferson County. He served as the Chairman of the Pensions Committee and was the Vice-Chairman of the Elections Committee.

"Representative Waller was a man of faith, family, and integrity, and his public service reflected those values," Kehoe said in a statement.
