Bill > SR414

This resolution honors the life and memory of Deputy Daryl Wayne Smallwood, a dedicated law enforcement officer who served in various sheriff's offices in Georgia and was a United States Marine Corps veteran. The resolution dedicates a bridge on State Route 247 over Interstate 75 in Peach County as the Deputy Daryl Smallwood Memorial Bridge, recognizing his service and the tragic circumstances of his death in November 2016 while responding to a neighbor dispute call. The resolution describes Smallwood as a person of integrity, professionalism, and exceptional character who embodied the Marine values of honor, courage, and commitment. It directs the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain appropriate signs marking the memorial bridge and authorizes the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to Smallwood's family and the Department of Transportation, thereby ensuring that his sacrifice and service are formally commemorated.
