Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Kenneth D. Ell

I was an 11 year service Lennox Wach deputy and a personal of Ken's the night of his death. I had just gone off duty, but was near the Station when I heard of the shooting. I responded back to the Staion and then to the Hospital where Ken had been taken to. I then, with another (civilian) friend, Monty Dotson, a friend of both Ken and his wife, responded to his home to tell his wife of the shooting and took her to the hospital.

I worked with Ken at Lennox and was assigned there when he lost his life. I will always remember his dedication and disipline. He was constantly working on his physical fitness and his martial arts training. No deputy was ever better prepared to do his job. God Bless you my friend!

Deputy Ell,
As a Lennox Trainee back in June of 1994, I was told to conduct a briefing about you. I continued that tradition with all of my trainees. I think of you often although we never met. I was proud to be on Lennox Memorial Wall Committee and honor you. I spoke of you and tradition while conducting briefing tonight. I hope you and your family know that we haven't forgotten. God Bless You Sir!

This Department recently experienced a tragic incident very similiar to this with the death of Deputy Mike Arruda. One can only hope that Deputy Ell's partner was able to forgive himself and go on with his life.

You are on are wall and in our hearts.
