The sheriff's office released a statement today saying, "Deputy Williams ... was a devoted husband and father, a dedicated public servant and an active community member. Deputy Williams will always be remembered for his kind and fair approach to the community he served as a law enforcement officer. We mourn his passing and send our deepest condolences to his family and partners in law enforcement during this difficult time."
