A personal final farewell from a sheriff's deputy

Clip: Season 6 Episode 2 | 6m 36s

Tim Yerigan wrote his own obituary, or final goodbye letter, to his family and community.

Tim Yerigan was a man with plenty to say. He even acknowledged as much in his final farewell — he wrote his own obituary or final love letter to his family and community, which opened, “My life has been quite a journey. Like in life, I’ve got a lot to say. You all know, I never was without words.” Tim was 57 years old when he died on November 14, 2021 from mesothelioma.
