(MSC News)--Flags will fly at half-staff across Kansas Tuesday to honor a past state Lieutenant Governor who died last week.

Governor Sam Brownback Monday directed that flags be flown at half-staff in remembrance of Tom Docking, who died Thursday night following a battle with cancer.

A memorial service for Docking will be held Tuesday morning in Wichita.

Flags will remain at half-staff from sun up until sundown.

Docking served as lieutenant governor from 1983 to 1987 during Democratic Gov. John Carlin's second term.

Docking was the Democratic nominee for governor in 1986 but lost to Republican Mike Hayden.

Among his survivors is his wife, Jill. She ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1996 and lieutenant governor in 2014.
