Deputy Sheriff Roger Dale Lynch

To the family of Deputy Lynch, you are in my thoughts and prayers today. I know that even though the years pass, you never get completely past the pain that this day holds. I hope that you find some comfort in the fact that your Hero isn't forgotten.

Roger I had the honor of knowing you in Grade School and High School. You were always respected and respectful of others. I remember you coming to my aid one night in Paducah when I was in on leave from the military and had a little too much to drink. I think I would have went to jail if you hadn't been there to drive me home. You were truly a person of character and honor. Although I never moved back to Livingston County after leaving the military I always considered you a friend. You left a legacy and obviously touched many lives.

It's hard to believe that it has been almost 2 years since you were taken from us, it seems like just yesterday i saw you drive away headed to the call that turned out to be your last. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you, this placewill never be the same. Debbies birthday is this weekend, it's still so hard to celebrate these good times without you. I sit back and reflect on all the many of long nights we spent in the cruiser, how scared i was of your driving, and the drunk that stomped my campaign hat, i don't think i have ever seen you laugh so hard. I looked so forward to working for you as the next Sheriff, I wish you didnt have to leave so soon. If you could come back for just a minute, I would just like to say thank you for the influence you had on my life, and the impact you have had on this community. You will always be one of my best friends. May you rest in Peace. Justin Puckett 4-3-07
