Barack Obama's Nevada campaign director died Sunday night of a heart attack. Terence Tolbert was 44.
In a statement from the campaign this morning, Obama said he was "shocked and saddened" to learn of the death.
"Terence was a strong force in this campaign, with a positive outlook that brought people together. He was much loved by his team, who often repeated his motto of 'leave no stone unturned.' His enthusiasm, talent, and warm heart will truly be missed. The thoughts and prayers of the entire Obama-Biden family are with his wife and loved ones,” Obama said in the statement.
He is survived by his wife, Freida, and his mother, Carolyn.
