On Facebook, Lassetter wrote, “I want to thank you all for the outpouring love and prayers for Buddy and his family. To say he’ll be missed is an understatement. He loved this town and its people for sure. Arrangements are still pending but I will post as soon as I know them. Any cards or donations can be dropped off at town hall and I will get them to his wife.”
The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook, “Chief Crabtree gave many loyal years of service to his town. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. Our jobs as law enforcement officers require us to continue to serve even if it means risking our own health. Please pray that this virus leaves us soon. We have lost too many good people.”
