End of Watch Wednesday, December 13, 2023.


Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

Sgt. Gibson was more than a Sheriff's Deputy in our community. He was a listening ear, a helping hand, he was strength, he was compassion, he was firm, but he was fair. He was truly one of the finest. As we mourn his loss, I am honored to have had to privilege to work along his side the last ten years. Sgt. Gibson... We will take it from here.
