Lone Star College System extends its deepest condolences to U.S. Congressman Sylvester Turner’s family and friends for his untimely passing.

Congressman Turner served as a long-time Texas House of Representative member, City of Houston Mayor and recent U.S. Congressman. Congressman Turner focused his public service on ensuring communities had access to critical services, including health care and mental health services, public education, public service and transportation.

Congressman Turner’s public service also extended to the Lone Star College System. We are grateful to Congressman Turner for his partnership over the years, which includes helping the college system recover from Hurricane Harvey, the opening of LSC-Houston North and supporting academic and workforce programs.

We thank him for the example he set as a public servant and will work hard to follow in his legacy of community service.

Respectfully,
Mario K. Castillo, J.D.
Lone Star College System Chancellor
