A tragic loss for Tazewell County and the nation as a whole.
We must all remember that, no matter what the call, it's better to get there in one piece that not get there at all.
Deputy Whisenand, you tried to help, you gave your all. You are truly a hero.
God Bless and may those who love you most and hold your most dear, forever keep you alive in their hearts and minds as you eternally Rest in Peace, Brother.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
