Citizens of Oconee County,

On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, it is with a heavy heart that I tell you Commissioner William “Bubber” Wilkes passed away today. Bubber loved Oconee County and was always a great advocate for its rural spaces, agricultural way of life, and employees. We do not have any arrangement details at this point, and the family is requesting no visitors at this time. Please keep Gwen and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Chairman John Daniell
