It is with great regret and sadness that we inform you of the passing of our friend and colleague Sgt. AC Simpson, Jr.

AC was full time with the Drew County Sheriff’s Department since August 2001; however, his career began as an auxiliary deputy in 1985.

The family of AC will be honoring his request; therefore, there will be no funeral service.

We will continue to lift AC’s entire family up in prayer.

He will truly be missed by his family, friends, this department and this community.
