The First Responder family is mourning the loss of one of their own this morning. Rickey Elder passed away this morning, and his passing has left a void. Rickey was a part-time EMT for Emerson Ambulance Service for many years, and was also a Reserve Deputy for Craighead County Sheriff's Office. He spent his life serving others, and he will be missed. Craighead County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center offers our deepest sympathies to his family and co-workers. Rest easy, Rickey. We will take it from here. Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
