Also from the article:

Fellow California GOP Rep. Young Kim remembered LaMalfa as a “genuinely kind, decent man who treated everyone with warmth and respect. His leadership, friendship, and steady presence will be deeply missed.”
Democratic Rep. John Garamendi (Calif.) said he would “miss him as a friend and colleague.”
“Together for a decade, we represented the great Sacramento Valley, where I was proud to work with him on several bipartisan pieces of legislation in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to secure critical water infrastructure investments, advocate for California farmers, and safeguard the Sacramento River Watershed.”
