Gov. Rick Scott ordered flags at half-staff to honor former state Rep. James F. “Jim” Tullis, who died Saturday.

Tullis represented District 17, which included Jacksonville, in the Florida House of Representatives for one term between 1999 and 2000.

He graduated with a degree in business and economics from Jacksonville University in 1965, and he was an independent insurance agent and a former city council president.

Tullis also served 13 years in the U.S. Army Special Forces Reserves.

Scott ordered the U.S. and state flags to be flown at half-staff at the Duval County Courthouse, Jacksonville City Hall, and the state Capitol in Tallahassee, from sunrise to sunset on Thursday.
