Great man that always had a positive outlook and nicest guy you would ever meet. Always had a joke to tell you he got on his text message. Never raised his voice and still got the respect he deserved. RIP Britton.

Another individual who gave his life serving his fellow man. He is just as herioc as any officer killed in the line of duty. He gave his life for the citizens of Smith County. Many professions face danger on a daily basis, not many face unknown danger like law enforcement and firemen.
God bless him and his family
