Please join us in praying for the Surry County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center family. Today, we suffered the loss of one of our own, Detention Officer Thomas James Smith III.
Please keep his family, friends, fellow shift members, and co-workers in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We ask for God’s comfort, strength, and peace to surround all those affected by this tragic loss.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
Rest easy, my friend. Your service, dedication, and friendship will not be forgotten. We will take it from here.
