Constable
Jimmy Lynn Christian, age 36 of Dunlap, TN passed away at his home on Sunday
November 18, 2007, after a 10 year battle with Hodgkin's Disease. Jimmy
was a 1989 graduate of Sequatchie County High School and then went on to
serve in the United States Air Force for 11 years in the Life Support career
field. He was medically retired from the Air Force as a staff Sergeant. He
married his wife Amy Malone Christian in 2003. He
became a reserve officer with the Sequatchie County Sheriff's Department in
2004 when he began volunteering as a K-9 officer. He worked many long hours
training search dogs and assisting the Sheriff’s Office in tracking and
catching fleeing criminals. Jimmy and Amy raised AKC registered bloodhounds
for three years and provided other Sequatchie County Volunteers with blood
hounds. In
2006 Jimmy was elected as Constable for the first civil district of
Sequatchie County. As a Constable he worked hand in hand with the Sheriff’s
Office providing law enforcement services to the first district and the
entire county. He was also a member of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge
#78. Jimmy
was many different things to different people. He was a loving husband to his
wife, a wonderful brother to his sister… and an inspiration to all of us who
were privileged to work side by side with him. For
those of us who wear a badge, to lose a fellow officer anywhere in the
country is a monumental loss. To lose a fellow officer right here at home is
to experience the loss of a brother. We will miss you Jimmy. Rest easy,
you’re finally home. |
