I am trying to find Officer Blacks family. GSP is trying to get a road named after him and want to honor his family. Catoosa County also wants to honor him. The death certificate is all I have but this far have not been able to find anyone. Any information would be appreciated. We are trying to find family before Legislative Session ends.

Sgt. Black,
I first heard the story of your death while discussing the death of my brother, GSP Trooper John D. Morris, with another GSP Trooper several years ago. He spoke reverently of you, telling the story of how you didn't know you had been shot until your boot filled with blood. I wish I knew more details. Your contribution will never be forgotten. Because of you and others who have given their lives to such a noble cause, I have no higher respect than I do for the Troopers of the Georgia State Patrol. I honor you sir. Pastor Charles P. Morris
