Randy Rumler, a two-decade veteran of the Michigan Department of Corrections, died on July 6, 2020, after battling with COVID-19, the MDOC's Honor Guard announced.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

According to the honor guard, Rumler worked his entire 24-year career at the Gus Harrison Correctional Facility in Adrian. In recent years he worked in food service at the facility.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Inmates and loved ones connected to the Harrison facility have expressed concerns that the department introduced COVID-19 to the facility by using it as a "step-down" unit for people who had earlier tested positive for the virus but didn't currently have it, and weren't yet ready to return to their home facility.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Rumler was one of 383 staffers to catch the virus, including 31 others at Gus Harrison, and he is the third to die after contracting it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
