Serving the citizens of Wythe County has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I faithfully served as Deputy Commissioner of the Revenue for ten years, from 2012 until 2022. After being elected in 2023, I took office in 2024 and have enjoyed serving as your Commissioner of the Revenue ever since.

I really appreciate our County Administration for the recent acknowledgement for ten years of service and I hope to continue to serve for many years to come.

Wythe County Flag to Be Lowered in Honor of Sam Crockett

WYTHE COUNTY, Va. – Wythe County Board of Supervisors Chairman James D. Smith has ordered the Wythe County flag to be lowered to half-staff at the Wythe County Courthouse in honor and memory of Walter Samuel "Sam" Crockett, former Wythe County Treasurer, who died July 30, 2026, at the age of 81.

The Wythe County flag will be flown at half-staff from Wednesday, August 5 through Friday, August 7.

In accordance with the authority vested in the Chairman and in recognition of service by a public-servant, and consistent with the protocol for flag-lowering under the Commonwealth of Virginia (see A Guide to Virginia Protocol and Traditions, 14 on page 48), this order is issued. Please note: this directive applies only to the Wythe County flag; the United States and Virginia flags are unaffected by this order.

My heart was broken to learn of the passing of long time Wythe County Treasurer, Sam Crockett. Sam served our beloved Wythe County as Treasurer for 28 years. He was a true public servant and had such a heart for the people of Wythe County and our community. I looked up to Sam long before I went to work at the Courthouse in 2012 as a Deputy Commissioner. Shortly after Faye Barker hired me, Sam became a mentor and a dear friend.

Sam was a pleasure to work with and always a gentleman. I will always be grateful for his friendship, advice, support, and encouragement. I'm sure our dear friend and his Cheif Deputy, Debbie Repass has organized the most amazing welcome home party. Please join me in praying for Arlene, Annie, B and the entire Crockett family as well as " The Courthouse gang" who loved him so.
