Jim Ryan died after a long illness in June. He was 72.
A portrait of Ryan was also placed in front of the chambers, as his family and friends sat in the gallery.
"His advocacy for child centers, professionalism as a prosecutor, those things allowed him to run the office not as a politician," said Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul. The former Golden Gloves boxing champ went through three bouts with cancer, he lost his 12 year old daughter to a brain tumor and a son to suicide. Through it all, Ryan endured.
"Some of the tragedies and heartaches shaped him and his view of public service," Jim Ryan's widow, Marie.Leaders wanted to honor him before the end of the current legislative session. They observed a moment of silence in Ryan's memory.
