Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Clay County Sheriff Sergeant Eric Twisdale who passed away due to complications from COVID-19. Anyone who knew Sergeant Twisdale said he was committed to serving the community. Throughout his 28 years of active service, he showed that commitment and was rewarded, receiving several awards, including the Lifesaving Award in 2014 for saving a person from drowning. He was honored as the 2015 Deputy of the Year for displaying exceptional valor while helping stop two murder suspects during a high- speed chase through several counties. There is a common thread that runs through our Nation's law enforcement community: courage, and selfless service to others. Sergeant Twisdale most certainly possessed both in abundance. He is survived by his children, many grandchildren, and family members. I thank Sergeant Twisdale for his service and for keeping our community safe. He will be missed.
