GEORGIA (WTXL) - The former governor of Georgia has passed away.
Gov. Nathan Deal Friday released the following statement following the death of former Gov. Zell Miller:
"It is with a heavy heart that Sandra and I offer Shirley our deepest condolences on the passing of her devoted husband, Zell. Georgia has lost a favorite son and a true statesmen, and I’ve lost a dear friend. Zell’s legacy is unequaled and his accomplishments in public service are innumerable. Without question, our state and our people are better off because of him.
"But the mark Zell made in his private life—as a dutiful son, a loving husband, and a proud father and grandfather—are the ones of which I’m sure he was most proud.

May God bless him and keep him."
