Connecticut state Rep. Quentin Williams killed by reckless driver hours after swearing-in
“Quentin had an infectiously optimistic personality, and he absolutely loved having the opportunity to represent his lifelong home of Middletown at the State Capitol. Public service was his passion, and he was always advocating on behalf of the people of his hometown.”Williams, who graduated from Middletown schools, was the new co-chair of the General Assembly’s Labor and Public Employees Committee.
“Representative Williams truly embodied the phrase larger than life,” Middletown Mayor Ben Florsheim said in a statement. “His laugh, smile, and presence were felt in every space shared with him.“His passing is a true loss for our community. A light has been dimmed today.” Lesser, the state senator, said his slain colleague talked about running for statewide office one day, or even for Congress.
“These are all things that he would think about,” he said. “We’ll never know. He had big dreams and hopes … I think he had a damn good chance of realizing.”
