Tallahassee Democrat's Florida State beat writer dies

NOVEMBER 19, 2009

Steve Ellis, who had covered Florida State for more than 25 years for the Tallahassee Democrat, died earlier today. He had a heart attack on Nov. 10.

I've known Steve for the last 14 years I've covered FSU and in that time, I marvelled at his dedication, passion and boundless energy for his job and his aggressiveness at pursuing a story. I will miss him as a competitor and as a friend.
