My name is Richard Sikes. I’m requesting help for the family of a fallen deputy of the Columbia County Sheriff's Dept. He was killed in the line of duty yesterday, April 26. He's leaving behind a wife and little girl. Brandon was a special person to us all. He was always helpful, would do anything to help anybody, was in the military, and was a devoted father. He loved his job on the sheriff’s force. He will be greatly missed. The family will need some help due to this great loss.
