Two Years of Service as Scott County Coroner

My goodness, how the Lord has blessed me with the opportunity to serve the citizens of Scott County. It’s hard to believe that two years have already passed since I was entrusted with this responsibility.

Serving as your Coroner has truly been an honor, and I have enjoyed every opportunity to help families and our community during some of their most difficult moments. I remain committed to carrying out the duties I was elected to perform with integrity, compassion, and professionalism.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, encouraged, and trusted me over these past two years. Your confidence means more than I can express, and I look forward to continuing to faithfully serve the people of Scott County. May God continue to guide me in this important work.

With the winter storm approaching this weekend, we want to remind the public that if a vehicle is wrapped in caution tape as pictured below, we have checked on it and there is no need for deputy response.

If you see a vehicle that is roadside without caution tape please advise our office and we will check on the vehicle.

We urge the public to reduce travel unless absolutely necessary to help reduce the risk of motor vehicle accidents and injuries.
