Mike Nevin, who served on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors for 12 years, died of cancer Dec. 1 at the age of 69.

On Sunday, state Assemblyman Rich Gordon, who also served on the Board of Supervisors, issued this statement:

"Mike Nevin dedicated a lifetime to public service. Whether as a beat cop in San Francisco, an Inspector for the SFPD, a two-time Mayor of the Daly City, a twelve-year member of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, or as the Executive Director of the Service League, Mike focused squarely on the needs of our most vulnerable residents. His legacy in San Mateo County was long-ago cemented in his many years as leader in transportation issues, as well as a passionate advocate for the physically challenged. His faith and his family always guided him, and as his colleague for many years, I appreciated his energy and valued his commitment. My sympathies go out to his wife, Kathy, and their three children."
