For those wishing to pay their last respects to Roosevelt Bridges, visitation will be from 2-5 p.m. Saturday at St. James United Methodist Church in Columbus and his funeral will be at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Trotter Convention Center in downtown Columbus.
Bridges, an inductee into the 2025 inaugural class of the Lowndes County Sports Hall of Fame, passed away this past Friday at the age of 83.
He was a sports pioneer at Motley High School (now West Lowndes) starting the baseball, basketball and football programs. He was the first coach in each sport and coached all three simultaneously until he became the school’s principal.
The Lowndes County Sports Hall of Fame expresses sympathy to his family. May he rest in peace.

The Lowndes County Sports Hall of Fame Board of Directors offer prayers for the family of Columbus High School graduate Bob McCrory and the people of Purvis, Miss., after a tornado ravaged their community Wednesday.
The tornado damaged the baseball and softball fields in addition to the school at Lamar Christian, where Bob coaches the girls softball team.
Bob, a 2000 graduate of CHS where he played football, baseball and soccer, is credited for his hard work in making the softball facility a field the Lamar Christian girls could be proud of.
Fortunately the tornado missed Bob’s house by 100 yards and his house was not damaged.
Bob, who pitched at Southern Miss and pitched two seasons in the major leagues with the Baltimore Orioles, has been nominated for the Lowndes County Sports Hall of Fame.
