We are very sad to lose a great person who has done so much for our community. RIP

🖤 IN LOVING MEMORY OF HOUSTON WHITFIELD 🖤

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that Gulf County EMS shares the passing of our former Director and a founding member of the Wewa Ambulance Service, Mr. Houston Whitfield.

Some people leave behind more than a legacy of service. They leave behind a lasting impact on the people they led, the lives they touched, and the community they loved. Houston was one of those people.

Throughout his years of dedicated service to Gulf County EMS, Houston was more than a director. He was a leader, a mentor, a friend, and a valued member of the EMS family. His commitment to serving others and his love for this profession helped shape the department and the people who had the privilege of working alongside him.

Houston retired from Gulf County EMS several years ago, but his contributions and the impact of his service will continue to live on through those who follow in his footsteps.

To Houston’s family, friends, former coworkers, and all who knew and loved him, we extend our deepest condolences. We ask that our community join us in lifting his family up in prayer during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Houston. Your shift is complete, your duty is done, and your legacy will live on.

Thank you for your service, your leadership, and the years you devoted to Gulf County.

With love and respect,

Your Gulf County EMS Family 🕊️

Gulf Coast Electric Cooperative is experiencing scattered power outages throughout our service territory as Hurricane Isaias continues to impact our area.

Unfortunately, weather conditions have deteriorated to the point that, for the safety of our crews, we must temporarily suspend outage restoration efforts until conditions improve and it is safe to resume work.

We understand how frustrating it is to be without power, and we sincerely appreciate patience and understanding. Please stay safe.
