(The Hinton News) - Governor Patrick Morrisey issued a proclamation ordering United States and West Virginia flags at the State Capitol Complex and all state-owned facilities across West Virginia to be flown at half-staff from today through sunrise on Friday, November 13, 2026, in honor of former Governor and U.S. Senator John D. “Jay” Rockefeller IV, who passed away Thursday evening at the age of 89. “West Virginia has lost a man who devoted much of his life to serving our state and its people,” said Governor Morrisey. “Jay Rockefeller's career in public service spanned nearly five decades, including two terms as governor and 30 years representing West Virginia in the United States Senate.
