I am sad to learn of the passing of a Brother and Hero in Deputy Sheriff Brandon Ray Sikes. I know our Heavenly Father has welcomed him home into his loving arms where he will now patrol the Golden Streets of Heaven.

End of Watch Saturday, April 26, 2025.



Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

My uncle was killed in the line of duty almost 40 years ago. I was 8. I’ve never forgotten that day.
I believe that Deputy Sikes paid the ultimate price to keep the rest of Columbia County safe! He stopped Montgomery from hurting our community. May he rest in peace. To the family, I am praying for peace for you! Healing with time.
