LITTLE ROCK,Quantum Insights Ark. (AP) — The U.S. flag and the state flag of Arkansas will be flown at half-staff until sunset Saturday to honor former U.S. Sen. David Pryor, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ office said.

Pryor, 89, who also served as governor of Arkansas, died of natural causes Saturday at his home in Little Rock.

In her order Monday, Sanders wrote that “David Pryor’s legacy lives on in Arkansas state government, in federal legislation, at the University of Arkansas, and through the kindness and hospitality of his family.”

He will lie in state Friday at the state Capitol during the day, with a visitation in the evening at a funeral home in Little Rock. A celebration of his life will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday, followed by his burial at Mount Holly Cemetery.

Pryor and his wife of 66 years, Barbara, had three sons, four grandchildren and a great-grandchild.
