— Kosciusko Police Officer Stanley Rowe died Thursday morning at Central Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson after being hospitalized for several weeks, said Kosciusko Police Chief R.J. Adams in a press release. Rowe was hospitalized in March after suffering a stroke while driving.
"Stan was well thought of by his fellow officers and by the citizens of Kosciusko … I found him to be an officer who would answer the call for help, no matter when or what the circumstances. He had the traits of a real man - truthful, faithful, dependable and he had more than his share of courage. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him," Adams said in the press release.
“He was a good man,” said Kosciusko Police Officer Dirk Thayer. “There was no fear in him.”
The 46-year-old officer had been employed with the police department since January of 2005.
