Calvert City, Kentucky, announced its mayor died today. Mayor Lynn Jones, 70, served more than 20 years in the position and is remembered as “a great ambassador.”
A press release issued by the city quoted Jones as saying, “We’re pulling for you,” countlessly over the last year.
“He pulled for his city and for its people to flourish, and he believed in us enough to know that we would,” the release read in part.
Jones’ civil service began when former Calvert City Mayor Kean McKinney appointed him to the Calvert City Water Board. He later became a city council member, and was elected to the mayoral office in 1998.
