The House of Representatives has adopted a resolution in tribute to LaMar Lemmons Jr., a former member who served the Second Representative District in Michigan. The resolution expresses sorrow over his passing and honors his dedication as a public servant. Born in Mississippi in 1936, Lemmons served in the United States Air Force before returning to Detroit, where he worked in various roles, including at Ford Motor Company and later founded Lemmons Transportation. He was first elected to the House in 2004 and served until his retirement in 2010, participating in several committees and notably serving alongside his son, LaMar Lemmons III.

The resolution highlights Lemmons' commitment to his constituents and his contributions to the state of Michigan. He is remembered for his leadership and service, and the resolution acknowledges his surviving family, including his wife Celestine and four children. The House of Representatives has resolved to transmit copies of the tribute to his family as a testament to their esteem for his memory.
