ATLANTA — Georgia House Speaker David Ralston died Nov. 16 at the age of 68, just two days after the House Republican Caucus nominated a new speaker to succeed him in January. Ralston, R-Blue Ridge, had been suffering from an extended illness. His wife, Sheree, his children, and other members of his family were with him when he passed away, his office announced. Speaker Ralston”s body was to lie in state in the Rotunda of the State Capitol Nov. 22 and 23. Funeral services were scheduled for 1 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 27, at Fannin County High School Performing Arts Center in Blue Ridge. Ralston announced early this month that he would not seek election by his House colleagues to another term as speaker, citing his health. Voters in the 7th House District in Northwest Georgia reelected him Nov. 8 without opposition. At the time of his death, Ralston was the longest currently serving state house speaker in the nation.
