City of Bradenton issued the following announcement.
Gary Tibbetts, a special assistant to U.S. Representative Vern Buchanan, died Friday at Manatee Memorial Hospital from complications of COVID-19. He was 66.
Mayor Wayne Poston said this about Tibbetts' death:
"We are really going to miss Gary. We worked closely with him here and if we needed something from the Congressman, Gary was able to help us make that happen. He was always very accessible and was a great friend to the City of Bradenton. He was retired law enforcement and was a great friend to that community as well.
I am deeply saddened and will miss him personally as well as professionally. He will leave a big void.
I send my condolences to his wife Valerie, to Congressman Buchanan, and to Gary's family, immediate and extended. He will be greatly missed by many, many people in this area."
