Deputy Ansay, 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 1 year of commitment to law enforcement, your family, and the Florence County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace, Brother!

My hurt is beyond words. Deputy Ansay took the call to stand between us and danger. Only for a for a short time, but he did just that. I am forever Grateful. Lord, be with his Family, Fellow Officers, and Friends in the days to come. This Blue Line our Officers walk is very thin. God Bless You All!!!

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.

I am so sorry for your loss. So young. Such a sacrifice. My prayers are with you. It is so hard to live with the sacrifice that our beautiful babies give. I can't say I know what you are going through. The sacrifice was different in my life. I will tell you ( as a Mother) that losing one of my babies would have been so much harder than what I lost. I will pray for you to please get up everyday and know your son was a great man and remember all the beautiful things about him. Get up and honor him with you giving back to the beauty of life.❤
