F.L. “Bubba” Copeland, the mayor of Smiths Station, committed suicide on Friday night in Lee County, sparking a flood of condolences for his wife and children in Phenix City.
The former U.S. Senator Doug Jones wrote on X, the social media site that was formerly known as Twitter, “He was a good man and a great mayor who led the small town of Smith Station through the tough times of a devastating tornado a few years ago.”
Director of Alabama Pardons and Paroles Cam Ward described Copeland’s passing as “so incredibly sad.”
“Many people in our society are dealing with a great deal of hardship. The Bible tells us to constantly love our neighbor, regardless of decisions we may disagree with. I can attest to it,” tweeted Ward. Many people who read his narrative ought to examine themselves in the mirror.We have high expectations of our elected politicians and public servants, yet they frequently fall short because, like all of us, they are only human. However, Jamie Lowe, the chairperson of the Lee County Democratic Party, claimed that Mayor Copeland was the cornerstone of Smiths Station.
