As many are aware, 6-year-old Bryson Gaspard was tragically struck by a truck on January 13th while crossing the road after getting off his school bus. Today, we had the privilege of joining Bryson and his family for lunch at the Sheriff’s Office, along with members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. It was an honor to present Bryson with numerous gifts, generously donated by countless businesses, individuals, and organizations.
We’d like to specifically thank the following for their contributions:
Chick-fil-A of Cape
Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP)
Scott County Rural Fire Department
NBC
Benton Fire Department
Oran Fire Department
FBI
YMCA of Southeast Missouri
South Scott Ambulance District
North Scott Ambulance District
Air Evac Station 3
And many more.
A special thank you goes to my staff for their hard work in gathering these items to help brighten Bryson’s days as he recovers.
Sheriff Derick Wheetley
