I would like to inform the House of the passing of one of Tennessee's valuable leaders, Mayor James Thomas Wigginton. Tommy Wigginton, mayor of Michie, TN died earlier this month at the age of 52. Mayor Wigginton dedicated his life to the service of others. He was a man who portrayed undying Christian principles in everything he did, every day of his life. He was a blessing to his family, his friends, and every citizen of the community of Michie. Mayor Wigginton served the community as mayor, wholeheartedly, for the past 19 years. He was also a benevolent contributor to the lives of the residents of McNairy County, which has a population of more than 23,000 people. Mayor Wigginton played a key role in the education of McNairy County's school children, and he was the transportation supervisor for the McNairy County school system. The residents of Tennessee and the community of Michie owe a great debt to Tommy Wigginton. He was a man who lived every day for the betterment of the community.
