I was heartbroken to learn of the passing of Rep. Stan Berry. To me, he wasn’t just a colleague—he was a true friend and someone I genuinely enjoyed being around.

Stan loved Arkansas, and he loved the people of District 44. You could see that in the way he served and the way he treated everyone he met—with kindness, sincerity, and a good sense of humor.

My heart is with his wife, Mona, his children, and his grandchildren, whom he spoke of so often and loved so deeply. Please keep them in your prayers in the days ahead.

He will be greatly missed—not just in the chamber, but by all of us who had the privilege to know him.
