On August 10, 2015, Deputy Craig Whisenand made the ultimate sacrifice while responding to a call for help. He served with courage, honor, and compassion—qualities that left a lasting mark on the Tazewell County Sheriff’s Office and our community.
Today, ten years later, his spirit continues to inspire us. We remember the man who served with dedication, the friend who brought laughter, and the deputy who gave everything for the safety of others.
Craig, you are missed, but you will never be forgotten. 💙
