By order of the Governor, flags over the State Capitol and all State office buildings will be flown at half-staff effective immediately until sunset on October 4 in memory of Winfield Dunn, Tennessee’s 43rd Governor, who passed away on September 28 at the age of 97.

Governor Lee issued the following statement:
“Governor Winfield Dunn was, simply put, a genuine statesman,” said Gov. Bill Lee. “He was a true servant of the people of Tennessee. He led with principled integrity, a strong faith, and a gracious love for others. Our state is a better place because of his service and leadership. Maria and I join all Tennesseans in honoring Governor Dunn’s life, and we pray for Betty and the Dunn family in the days ahead.”
