Rollie was born March 25, 1941, to the late Rollie Kirkland, Sr. and Emma Edison. He was a huge Georgia Bulldogs fan and enjoyed watching them play and always had faith they would clinch the win.

Mr. Kirkland is preceded in death by his parents; wife, Ruthie Mae Parrish Kirkland; daughter, Liza Kirkland; grandson, Alex Kirkland; and sisters, Cara Lee Watson and Eliza Kirkland.
Mr. Kirkland leaves to cherish his memories with his children, Emma Jean (Jake) Butler of Swainsboro, Annie Ruth (Pete) Kirkland of Oak Park, Frankie Mae (Gary) Kirkland of Millen, Lillie Bell (Mitchell) Kirkland and Josephine Kirkland, both of Swainsboro; five grandchildren; and a host of great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.
