Reflections for Detective Matthew Walker Blansett
I am sad to learn of the passing of a Brother and Hero in Detective Matt Blansett. I believe our Heavenly Father has welcomed him home into his loving arms where he will now patrol the Golden Streets of Heaven. May the Lord deliver Blessings, Comfort and Peace to his Family, Friends and all Members of the Marion County Sheriff's Department, Tennessee.

Matt was a childhood friend of my wife. Over the last 20 or so years he and I have become great friends. Matt was one of the greatest men I know. He was so full of life, involved in everything, and a true leader in everything he touched. My heart goes out to his wife and young boys. I myself grew up in a life without my father who lost his life in the line of duty. Codie, Maddox, and Banks, your husband and dad deserved the highest of honors. It was an honor and privilege to call him my friend. I’ll always be available to you guys anyway I can. Rest easy brother, thank you for your service.
