           TO HONOR THE LIFE OF SHERIFF MAYNARD B. REID, JR.

                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 2, 2016

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Randolph County 
Sheriff Maynard B. Reid, Jr., who passed away on January 5, 2016 at the 
age of 69. We send our prayers and sincerest condolences to his wife, 
Sandra, and the entire Reid family.
  Sheriff Reid began his life of public service in the United States 
Marine Corps and served his nation during the Vietnam War. After 
returning from his service, Sheriff Reid joined the Asheboro Police 
Department and eventually moved to the Randolph County Sheriffs Office. 
In 2006, he was elected Sheriff of Randolph County and served in his 
post for 10 years. Under his leadership, there was a great emphasis on 
community outreach efforts and enabling those under his command to 
better serve the people of Randolph County. This could be seen through 
his efforts to modernize officer's patrol vehicles and the creation of 
a task force designed to combat internet predators that targeted 
children.
  Sheriff Reid was a 40 year veteran of law enforcement who spent 
nearly his entire life serving and protecting his community. He was an 
inspiration to all who had the honor of serving beside him and under 
his leadership. The Randolph County community will always remember the 
man he was and the legacy he has passed down to future public servants.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in celebrating the life of Sheriff 
Maynard B. Reid, Jr. and honoring him for his profound commitment to 
his country, his community, and the numerous lives he touched 
throughout his life.
