MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Flags will be lowered to half-staff on Saturday in honor of a former lawmaker from Sheboygan.
Former State Rep. Michael Endsley died July 13, according to Gov. Tony Evers. Endsley was 61 years old.
“On behalf of the state of Wisconsin, I share our deepest condolences with Andrew, Katie, Beverly, Michelle, and the entire Endsley family on Michael’s passing,” Evers said in a news release. “He was a hardworking businessman, dedicated public servant, avid history buff, enthusiastic Green Bay Packer fan, and by all accounts, a great father and friend to all those who knew him. He will be missed.”
Endsley, a Republican, was elected to the Assembly in 2010 and served two terms. He chaired the Aging and Long-Term Care Committee and was vice-chair for the Jobs, Economy, and Small Business and Small Business Development committees.
In 2014, Endsley received a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, which developed into early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, Evers said.
Memorial services are set for Saturday in Sheboygan Falls.
