“His loss was deeply felt throughout the department,” SCSO said. “He left behind his wife and young daughter, Sophie.”
SCSO added, “Today (Monday), Sophie reached a big milestone, her first day of kindergarten. To make sure she didn’t take that step alone, members of the Sheriff’s K9 unit were there to walk her in, cheer her on, and remind her she’ll always be part of their family. Even K9 Niko stopped by to say hello and wish her luck on her first day of school.”…
