BATON ROUGE — State Sen. Larry Selders' funeral is Tuesday at Mt. Zion First Baptist Church, sources told WBRZ.
Selders, who worshiped at Mt. Zion, died earlier this week at age 44. A viewing will be held from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., with a service starting shortly after.
News of Selders' death drew an outpouring of remembrance from a politically diverse group of colleagues, describing him as a passionate and reliable representative for his constituents.
East Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sid Edwards declared Friday a day of mourning for Selders.
Due to Selders only being one year into his term, his seat will remain vacant until Gov. Jeff Landry calls a special election to fill the District 14 seat. State officials said that scheduling a special election for this seat is still in the early stages.
