— by Brian Ehrmantraut —

Randy Gaylord, in addition to his other roles, in our small county serves as our County’s coroner and medical examiner. In a small community such as ours, this is a difficult and emotional role, and requires care and empathy to carry out well.

I have been on-scene with Randy, as a first responder, and observed first-hand his attention to detail, his honoring of, and sensitivity to, the circumstances and the deceased, and his supportive attitude towards family members and first responders.

I have seen Randy diligently and respectfully perform this role in quite trying circumstances, over and over, and he has my trust and respect.

I encourage you to lend him your support.
