Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To borrow from Rudyard Kipling, the men and women of the law enforcement community stand watchful and wary all their days so that we may live long, peaceful, and relatively violence-free lives. We owe them a debt we can never repay. May God receive Deputy Tate, comfort his grieving family, and bless Grundy Co. Sheriff's Department.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

My thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Tate's family and friends. His service and sacrifice will not be forgotten.

Deputy Tate, it is hard to believe that someone could've satisfied their destiny in such a short time, but you obviously achieved greatness in your two weeks on the job.

Know that your service and ultimate sacrifice to the people of your jurisdiction will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace, sir.
