Ronnie
You became my cherished friend after high school and sparked my interest in EMS and firefighting. You motivated me to be the best I could be and I carry that motivation even today. I miss our hours of EMS talk, crazy fire runs and visits at your house. I am so grateful to have known you, and you will forever be a part of me. Miss ya buddy!

This man saved me from being shot through a door by a drugged out man with a .45 about 6 months before losing his life. I will never forget you and what you did Ron.

Ron,

We never met that I am aware of. We may have played H.S. football against each other. I have heard wonderful tales about you and your siblings. I have seen your picture many times, and thought it would have been nice to know you. Rest assured your family loves and misses you badly. I proudly call your sister Lori, my wife.

NEVER FORGOTTEN-- this went out today FCSO -wide via email--
22 years ago today Deputy Sheriff Ronald Coen was killed in an automobile crash on Stelzer Road while responding to assist another deputy regarding a foot pursuit. His patrol car struck a utility pole after it hydroplaned on a section of road that was wet from a recent rainfall. He was transported to Grant Medical Center where he succumbed to his injuries.

Deputy Coen was survived by his parents and five siblings.

End of Watch 1/27/1994




As we all work our shift today please take the time to remember Deputy Coen and all “Our Heroes” who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to his/her fellow deputies and the citizens of Franklin County.
