(INDIANAPOLIS) - State Senator David Ford has died at age 59 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Ford was a Republican from Hartford City.
Senate officials say he died early this morning at his home. Ford had been absent from the Senate since January, when his family confirmed he was critically ill with cancer.
He is survived by his wife of 37 years, a daughter, three sons, and two grandchildren.
Ford was the Blackford County prosecuting attorney before being elected to the Senate in 1994. He represented District 19, which includes all or parts of Adams, Allen, Blackford, Grant and Wells counties.
