Our condolences affectionately remain for the family of Mr. Lamar Lowery who served multiple terms as District 1 County Commissioner of Dade County, Georgia. Former Commissioner Lowery died on November 5, 2024 from symptoms related to cancer. Under the authority of State law and the enabling legislation that formed our county’s governing authority, the Board of Commissioners of Dade County, Georgia, the Commissioners were tasked with the issue of naming Mr. Lowery’s replacement to the County Commission within fifteen days of his death.
