"Our hearts are absolutely broken with news of Andy Sisulak's sudden passing. He was the heart and soul of our district operations team, always working to try to make life better for the people of the 59th District," Fowler wrote. "Southern Illinois has lost a dedicated servant and a tireless philanthropist. Andy was incredibly generous with his time, as he spent innumerable hours helping causes that were near to his heart.
