As many of you know, Michael was involved in a very tragic shooting while on duty. He now faces a long road to recovery—one that has been both physically and emotionally overwhelming. The last thing Michael and his wife, Ally, should have to worry about during this difficult time is financial strain. While short-term or long-term disability may become options, they will not come close to covering his previous income.
On behalf of our family, I am humbly asking for any support you are able to give. No amount is too small, and every contribution will make a meaningful difference. Most importantly, we appreciate your continued prayers during challenging time.
We are grateful for the Tifton community, Tifton Police Department, as well as other communities and law enforcement agencies that have been exceptionally supportive.
Michael was in the hands of God yesterday, December 5th, 2025, a devastating day that he and our family will never forget. It might have Michael down temporarily, but Michael will overcome this and be stronger than ever!
Thank you all. ❤️
Please note that Workers’ Compensation does not fully cover the officer’s expenses which is why this GoFundMe has been established to assist his family.
