FRANKFORT, Ky. — Gov. Andy Beshear has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff, in honor of former Gov. Brereton Jones, who died on Monday.

Jones served as Kentucky’s 58th governor from 1991 to 1995, as well as lieutenant governor from 1987 to 1991.

Beshear announced the news of Jones’ passing on social media.

“I was sad to learn that former Governor and Lieutenant Governor Brereton Jones has passed away,” said Gov. Beshear. “Gov. Jones was a dedicated leader and a distinguished thoroughbred owner who worked to strengthen Kentucky for our families. Please join Britainy and me in praying for Libby and his family.”

Beshear ordered flags at state office buildings to fly at half-mast until sunset on the day of his funeral. Arrangements are still pending, but the state has confirmed that Jones will lie in state in the Capitol rotunda.

Brereton Jones was 84.
