“South Carolina has lost a judicial statesman with the death of Judge Marc Westbrook. In dedicating the Lexington County Courthouse main courtroom in his honor, Marc was fondly recognized as a loving father, devoted husband, dedicated son, conscientious legislator and brilliant judge. These accolades are truer today than ever before. Judge Westbrook is a role model and mentor of integrity and competence for young lawyers who served as clerks, such as my son Alan and my Chief of Staff Eric Dell. In addition to his passing, we give tribute to his law clerk Randall Davis, Junior, who also sadly was killed in yesterday's traffic accident. The Wilson family, especially our oldest son Alan, who considered the judge an uncle, extends its deepest sympathies to his wife, Linda; his sons, Thad and Richard; his father, Herb; his sister, Dottie; his beloved granddaughter, Abby; and his additional family members. We also express our deepest sympathies to the Davis family and his father Randy and sister Julie. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11. ____________________”
