Lowndes County EMA mourns passing of Director Rodney Rudolph

Lowndes County Emergency Management Agency is mourning the passing of its director, Rodney Rudolph.

The agency shared in a social media post that Rudolph passed away after an "extended battle with health challenges."

"Mr. Rodney was more than a leader—he was a devoted son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather who poured his heart into his family and community," said the post.

"His passion for serving others, mentoring youth, and protecting the people of Lowndes County as EMA Director was unmatched. He gave selflessly, loved deeply, and left a legacy that will live on in all who knew him."

Details on the memorial service will be shared in the future.
