Bill > SR169

This resolution commends Deputy Gregory Brant Aydell of the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office for receiving the Louisiana Sheriffs' Association's 2025 Deputy Valor Award, recognizing his extraordinary acts of heroism and lifesaving service in 2025. The resolution highlights three remarkable incidents where Deputy Aydell saved lives: first, by performing rescue breathing and helping revive an unconscious overdose victim; second, by applying a chest seal and assisting a gunshot victim until medical help arrived; and third, by performing rescue breathing on a drowning three-year-old child, ultimately saving the child's life. The document also details Aydell's impressive background, including his military service with the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, where he completed seven deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and earned multiple commendations, including a Purple Heart. After medically retiring from the military in 2016, Aydell returned to his home parish, earned a degree, and joined the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office in 2022, where he has continued to serve his community with distinction, earning multiple awards for his lifesaving actions and commitment to removing illegal drugs and firearms from the community.
