From the Madison County Sheriff’s Department –

Madison County Sheriff John Mehr is sad to report that Deputy Terry Dyer passed away this afternoon while in the General Sessions Courtroom.

Deputy Dyer, 62, had been with the MCSO since November of 2017.

He had previously retired from the Jackson Police Department but continued to serve the citizens of Madison County with the Sheriff’s Office.

He passed out, was unresponsive, CPR was administered, and he was rushed to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Details of his service will be forthcoming and the Sheriff is asking the citizens for prayers for his family and coworkers.
