Meigs County Emergency Services has announced the passing of Deputy Doyle Fugate.

In a statement on Facebook, they say:

“Doyle was a tremendous asset to Meigs County and served this community with pride, dedication, and compassion. At this time, all station flags are to be placed at Half Staff in honor of his service and memory.

Doyle was the kind of person who was the same every single time you saw him — always smiling, always kind, and always happy to see you. He carried a light with him that made even the hardest days a little easier. His presence, laughter, and servant’s heart left an impact on so many that will never be forgotten.

He was more than just an officer; he was someone this community trusted, respected, and loved. The kind of person who leaves footprints that can never truly be filled.

While our hearts grieve the loss here on Earth, we find comfort in knowing the dream team is back together again. What a reunion Heaven must be having.

Doyle, thank you for your service, your friendship, and the countless lives you touched throughout this county. Your watch may have ended here, but your legacy will continue through all of us.

We’ll take it from here, brother.

Funeral arrangements will be shared with members and the public once they become available.”
