The Alabama House of Representatives has confirmed that Montgomery’s state representative Dimitri Polizos (R) passed away Wednesday morning.  Polizos was most known as the owner of several restaurants in the River Region.

Polizos entered politics in 2004 by serving as a Montgomery County commissioner. Polizos would go on to win the District 74 seat in a special election in December of 2013.

He was re-elected in 2014 and 2018. Funeral services have not yet been announced. He was 68 years old.

Governor Kay Ivey released the following statement on the passing of state Representative Dimitri Polizos:

“Representative Polizos was a man of honor and distinction. He was first and foremost a proud family man and member of his community. He was a successful small business owner who believed in hard work and treating people the right way. Each day when he went to work in the State House he took that viewpoint with him and served the people of his district with their best interests in mind. His presence will be missed. My prayers for peace and comfort are with his wife Dorothy and their family during this difficult time.”
