Governor Eric J. Holcomb offered the following statement on the passing of Andre Lacy, chairman and retired CEO of LDI Ltd. LLC and long-time business, philanthropic and community leader in Indianapolis, who died while on a motorcycle trip in Africa this morning:
Andre Lacy was a business and philanthropic heavyweight with a giant heart for public service. Throughout his life, he gave away his time, talents and wealth to improve Indiana—with a deep focus on building civic engagement. His longtime service as chairman of the Indiana State Fair Commission has been essential to the ongoing success of this state resource. In fact, it is only through his generosity and leadership that Indiana was able to renovate and unveil the Indiana Farmers Coliseum in 2014. Andre’s legacy will live on through this landmark and the many lives he has positively impacted. His passing is a great loss, and Janet and I extend our sincere condolences to the Lacy family.Â
