Stan Matzke Jr., former state government administrator, candidate for mayor of Lincoln and Nebraska basketball star, died in Lincoln on Thursday.
Matzke was a guard on the Husker basketball team from 1951-55, serving as co-captain in 1954-55.
A native of Seward, Matzke was 84.
"Stan sometimes thought of himself modestly as being in the shadow of his father, Stan Matzke Sr., a legendary state senator and conservationist," former state government colleague Jon Oberg said Friday.
