SALT LAKE CITY (Dec. 1, 2018) – In coordination with this morning's presidential proclamation, Gov. Gary R. Herbert has ordered the lowering of the flag of the United States of America and the flag of the State of Utah effective immediately in honor of President George H.W. Bush. Beginning today, flags should be flown at half-staff for 30 days, pursuant to U.S. Code.
The governor released the following statement:
“President George H.W. Bush will be sorely missed. He was a great example, the patriarch of our country, and a devoted servant to all. He was loved and respected by everyone. He was a man of great character and integrity.
He served in the military, in congress, in the CIA, and in the White House, but he taught us all the importance of serving wherever we are. I pray that we may all carry on this legacy of service, and that the Bush family will feel our nation's prayers of gratitude for his leadership and his service.”
Additionally, Gov. Herbert has ordered the lowering of the flag of the United States of America and the flag of the State of Utah and the Wed., Dec. 5, 2018 in solemn memory of Officer David Romrell, who will be laid to rest on that day.
The governor previously released the following statement:
"“Jeanette and I join the entire South Salt Lake Police family in mourning the death of one of our finest, Officer David Romrell. He was exemplary in every way, and I feel humbled by the service he gave his country as a Marine, as well as the service he gave our communities here in Utah. We mourn with and for Officer Romrell’s dear family, and we pray that they may find peace in the midst of this heartbreak.”
Individuals and businesses are encouraged to fly the flag at half-staff for the same length of time.

Chuck Leavell Background:
Often on tour with The Rolling Stones, he’s both acclaimed as a rock-and-roll piano player AND as a conservationist tree farmer. After studying forestry by correspondence and doing much of his homework while riding a tour bus with the Fabulous Thunderbirds in the mid ‘80s, Chuck and wife Rose Lane White Leavell turned her family’s plantation near Macon, GA., into what has become a textbook tree farm. Hugging one of his many trees, Chuck declares he’s fortunate to have three real passions in his life: “My family, my trees and my music.”
