“Deputy Locklear was just 23 years old, and had only been on the force for 10 months, yet those who knew him best say he died doing what he loved. My friend, Scotland County Sheriff Ralph Kersey, said that Deputy Locklear made friends everywhere he went.
“Deputy Locklear leaves behind a 4-year-old daughter, as well as his parents, grandparents, and six sisters.
“Last week, Scotland County lost a hero, but a hero remembered never dies in our hearts. Please join me in offering condolences to the Locklear family, Sheriff Kersey, and the Scotland County Sheriff’s Office.”
