The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office is saddened by the passing of Constable Eddie Lee.

Constable Lee dedicated over 50 years of his life to law enforcement, serving his community with unwavering commitment, integrity, and heart. He was more than a public servant—he was a trusted colleague and a true friend. Someone we could always count on.

His legacy of service will not be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who had the honor of knowing him.

Thank you to all who donated and supported the Alto toy drive. Seeing the children’s excitement and smiles made it truly special and reminded us of the incredible impact our community can have when we come together. We are grateful to everyone who helped bring joy to so many families.

We’d like to express our heartfelt thanks to Judy Looney Johnson for her kindness and thoughtfulness. Judy goes out of her way—literally—driving around town to make sure we’re taken care of with snacks and cold drinks during those scorching summer days. Your generosity doesn’t go unnoticed, Judy!
