MONROE, La. Louisiana Congressman-elect Luke Letlow, who recently died from Covid-19 complications, was remembered Saturday as a man who loved people and felt called to serve others.
“This is a gentleman who cared about nothing but others,” said former Republican U.S. Rep. Ralph Abraham, who hired Letlow as chief of staff during his tenure in Washington and later backed Letlow’s bid for Congress. “He was a true servant’s servant. We never want to forget what he’s done for our state, what he’s done for me and my family.”
