Every time I saw Tony, we greeting each other with a hand shake and "how are you"? Tony always responded by saying, "I am blessed". Well Tony, I am blessed to have known you and worked with you. I will never forget your smile and your awesome spirit. You will be greatly missed. God Speed 564!!

Tony and Paul were two outstanding men who gave their all in everything they did. I have worked with both, and not only will they be missed by all Law Enforcement, HCSO will never fill the shoes that both these men left behind. I will miss the way they both went above and beyond the call of duty. My thoughts and prayers are with the families, and my fellow officers as each day we continue to put others before ourselves.

Tony,

Like the minster said yesterday from the biblical sense what a catch you made
The turnout was great so many agencies and so many heavy hearts
When they cleared Channel 1 and made the last call for 564 I know alot of us felt so many powerful emotions as the finality of it hit us all

A living Christian testimony never dies...
Your legacy lives on the lives and hearts of others.
Your voice is still heard in the stillness;
the message is the love, hope, peace, and joy of the Lord.
Thank you for the true friendship you gave; your labors of love, and your ultimate sacrifice...
To be a Christian is to be Christ-like, and Sir, you always were. I'm so glad my brother could call you his friend. You'll never know how much you are missed, and I wish you could only see one moment of how MUCH you're missed... but I wouldn't wish you back for anything, for--"In His Presence, there is fullness of Joy,
and at His Right Hand, Pleasures forevermore...
Oh what fellowship divine, I am His, and He is Mine,
In the Presence of the Lord, there is Fullness of Joy."

To the family of Deputy Sheriff Tony Price Ogburn

Please remember the source of your strength and comfort. David reminds us in Psalm 23: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Be blessed and comforted as you read and reflect on this passage.
