Iowa leaders react to the death of Dick Cheney
DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) – Iowa’s top officials share their sentiments on the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney. He was 84.
Cheney’s wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him on Monday night, the family said in a statement, adding that the former vice president died of complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.
“Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing,” the statement said. “We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.”
Governor Kim Reynolds said Tuesday that Cheney will be remembered as a patriot.
“Dick Cheney will be remembered as a remarkable statesman—in Congress and the Executive Branch, in times of peace and war, at home and abroad,“ she said. ”Above all, he will be remembered as a patriot, who dedicated his life to the service of his country. Kevin and I offer our sincere condolences and prayers to his family. May he rest in peace.”
Senator Chuck Grassley said in a post on X that his prayers were with Cheney’s family and that Cheney was “a true public servant and proud American.”
Grassley served in the U.S. House of Representatives with Cheney.
Senator Joni Ernst also regarded Cheney in a post on X Tuesday morning.
“Whether Vice President, Secretary of Defense, or in Congress, Dick Cheney was always proud to be an American,“ she said. ”His commitment to defeat terrorism ensured there was never another 9/11. He served his country honorably and dutifully. May he rest in peace.”
