Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Brandon Tyler Cunningham

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Rest in peace, brother. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, the jokes we shared and the laughs we had. The shift will never be the same without you; you were truly one of a kind. It was a pleasure and an honor to serve with you, walk the halls beside you, and run calls with you.

Rest easy, brother, we have it from here. Til Valhalla
