Governor Asa Hutchinson said in a statement that Standridge was “a source of encouragement and strength.” He called the Republican senator a “friend and dedicated public servant.” Senate President Jonathan Dismang said Standridge “brought joy and kindness with him wherever he went.”
Standridge filled a vacancy in the Senate in 2015 after then-Senator Michael Lamoureux left to become Hutchinson’s chief of staff. Standridge is survived by his wife and four children.
