Good morning Friends. It has been quite awhile since we posted anything. I can assure you that the office has been quite busy. This brings me to our announcement. We have initiated a Deputy Auxiliary or Reserve to work along side myself and our staff. They have been instrumental in transportation logistics, resourcing, and mass casualty planning for the office. They are a most welcome addition to our staff and will be advantageous in our service to the community. Welcome (L-R) Christopher Ware, Tyrik Brown, Lakeshia Fox Mizell, Marvin Mizell, and Sandy.

Ever since I began my job as Macon County Coroner, all the police officers and deputies that I work with at death scenes have been nice to me and the families of the deceased. It’s not a pleasant job, but a kind attitude brings some good to someone’s bad day. Today I want to thank law enforcement in Decatur and Macon County for their help and kindness to our grieving families. A big shout out to our officers and deputies.

Hello friends. Something that goes on day in and day out in our community is the tireless work of the hospice nurses. These angels work day and night to not only help souls make the journey on to eternity, but to care for the family as well. They do a job that most folks could not or would not do. We owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude. If you know a hospice nurse, reach out and let them know that their work is appreciated and more importantly absolutely needed. Thank you thank you.🙏 🧑‍⚕️👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Just a note to update on progress in the Coroners Office. We have entered the 21st century. We are now digital and up and working with new hardware and software technology. This system will consistently upgrade to ever changing state and federal requirements. It will handle every aspect of today’s coroners office. I want to thank the Macon County Board, Macon County Court Information Technology, my administrative and deputy staff and especially you, my constituents for making this a reality.

Good Wednesday Post Electon Day Morning Friends. We did it. All of us. I want to thank the 26,372 souls that put their confidence in me at the polls. I truly appreciate the support. I want to thank my team and family as we all worked together to make this happen. I want to thank all those that contributed to my campaign as well as the Macon County Republican Committee. All of you had a great part in my victory, including the signature collectors and notaries. Thank you to the organizations that allowed me to speak at their venues. These include the Macon County Republican Women, NAACP, Restore Our Constitution, Decatur Chamber of Commerce, and Guns Save Life. I want to thank all of my parade walkers that came out and supported our campaign in several communities. We made new friends at these events. I want to thank all of the folks who allowed us to place our signs in their yards and properties. I would like to commend my opponent, Tiffany Hall for running a clean campaign, as we all know how dirty political races can become. I will represent all the citizens and communities of Macon County truthfully and fairly. A very special thank you to my wife, Kat. We have been through the best of times and the worst of times together. She is my everything. I would also like to thank Coroner Mike Day who spent hours on the phone with Kat helping her understand the process and expectations when our son Tyler passed. He is a great example of what a Coroner can be, and I am honored to serve in the Office that he held for eight terms. THANK YOU, FRIENDS.

Good Wednesday Morning Friends. Heading over to the Mt Zion Prayer Breakfast this morning to hear Judge Shane Mendenhall speak. Election Day is almost upon us. When you make your choices, I hope you vote for leaders that represent sound conservative values. My platform is to run the Macon County Coroners Office with this conservative agenda, and to represent the citizens of Macon County.
