David Boren became one of the nation's youngest governors in the 1970s at age 33 .
Boren served in the U.S. Senate between 1979 and 1994 and was the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence .
He went on to serve as president of the University of Oklahoma after retiring from politics.
He died early Thursday at his home near Newcastle , a longtime family friend says.
