In the early morning hours of January 8, 2026, Undersheriff John Hyslop passed away, leaving behind a family, a department, and a community forever changed by his loss. John devoted his life to service, mentoring young deputies, protecting Lincoln County with quiet competence, and working side by side with his K9 partner, Bear, with exceptional dedication. This fund exists to support those he loved most, his wife Karen, his mother Judy, and his family, as they navigate an unimaginable loss. Donating is a way to honor John’s life of service and to stand with his family in the same spirit of care and commitment that he gave so freely to others.
