Bill > H4446

This resolution honors Deputy Sheriff Leroy Gasque Sr., a longtime law enforcement officer who served the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office for twenty-seven years. The resolution requests that the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) rename a specific portion of Powell Road in Georgetown County, extending from its intersection with Singleton Road to Harold Road, as the "Deputy Sheriff Leroy Gasque Sr. Memorial Highway." The resolution provides context about Gasque's life, noting that he was born in 1935, graduated from Rosemary High School and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Academy, was a faithful church member at St. Paul A.M.E. Church, and was married with four children. He passed away on July 14, 2004, and this highway designation is intended to commemorate his service to the community. The resolution also directs that appropriate markers or signs be erected to identify the memorial highway, and that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
