A statement from

Richmond City Council

Regarding the passing of The Honorable Roy A. West, former Richmond City Council Councilmember and Mayor of Richmond

           

Richmond, Virginia U.S.A. - “Today, as we lay Mayor Roy A. West to eternal rest, the heartfelt condolences of all members of the Richmond City Council go out to his family and friends as we join in mourning his passing, and in honoring, celebrating, and remembering his life and legacy.

     From his many years of dedicated service on Richmond City Council as a Councilmember and as Mayor of Richmond, to his work for Richmond Public Schools and in the community, Mr. West was a prominent and committed civic leader in our city, and will long be remembered by all who knew, loved, and cared about him. 

        In America, public, elected, and community service are considered to be among the most important and noble work a person can do and, through his outstanding example, Mayor Roy A. West proved his dedication to and support of the principles and creed written into the founding documents of our great Nation, in that our individual destinies and that of our families, communities, city, state, and country include not only the aspiration of our federal constitutional republic but, the time, talent, investment, labor, and dedication of all of its residents in realizing the fulfillment of its promise.

        The Richmond City Council hopes that time and the memories Mayor West's family and friends have of him will help lessen the sorrow and bring them peace and comfort now and in the days ahead."
