Deputy Sikes, a police officer, should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your military and 6 years months of commitment to law enforcement, your family, and the Columbia County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you.
