Mayor Jonathan McCollar has ordered the flags at City Hall to be lowered to half staff through Friday in honor of Attorney Kelley Kidd, a dedicated public defender in the Bulloch County Public Defender's Office of the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit and a tireless servant to our community, who passed away on June 14, 2026, at the age of 83.

"The City of Statesboro joins our community in mourning the passing of Attorney Kelley Kidd. Kelley was a man of deep conviction, a heart for justice, and an unwavering belief in redemption. He dedicated his life to serving others and reminding us that people are more than their worst mistakes. His impact on our community will be felt for generations to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, colleagues, and all who were blessed to know him." — Mayor Jonathan McCollar
