Rose Honors Fallen Macon County Sergeant on House Floor | 2023-10-26 | 2023 | 2023-10 | Republican | House | TN | John W. Rose | R000612 | johnrose.house.gov | johnrose | https://johnrose.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, DC—Thursday, U.S. Representative John Rose (TN-06) honored the life of a fallen officer on the House Floor. The full remarks, as prepared for delivery, are below: Mister Speaker, I rise today to remember a fallen officer from Tennessee: Sergeant William Cherry of the Macon County Sheriff’s Office. Sgt. Cherry passed away following a head-on collision that occurred while he was conducting a routine patrol on July 29, 2023. Those who worked alongside him describe the sergeant as a leader and mentor. They say he wore the badge with honor and that he truly carried out his oath as a law enforcement officer. Sgt. Cherry cared deeply about protecting his community, especially protecting children from potential harm. The outpouring of support shown to his family since his passing is a testament to his impact on the community he cared so much about – an impact that will be felt for some time. We lost a truly dedicated public servant and a great example of what it means to be a Tennessean. Mister Speaker, I extend my deepest condolences to his wife and daughter. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |
