A loyal and public servant of Maury County was severely injured last week in an ATV accident in East TN. He was airlifted to a hospital and will require extensive medical treatment and rehab going forward. We are asking those in the community to help us support someone who has sacrificed so much for Maury County as a volunteer fireman, EMT working for EMS, and is currently employed as a sheriff’s deputy.
The gofundme is in the comments below (select all comments to see it). Any support, big or small, will help his family navigate these unexpected expenses going forward. Thanks Maury County!
