Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Sheriff Bud Willingham was my Grandfather. 56 years ago he was on duty in pursuit and he had a car accident and did not survive. That day changed our family. He served Cleburne County daily and on that day gave his life. To all the law officers that serve our communities every day and lay their lives on the line daily, we thank you for your service. On behalf of my family, we appreciate the above reflection that have written about my grandfather’s service as a law officer.
