Both men’s families attended the service and were escorted to their seats by Sheriff Bill Leeper.
“Deputy Moyers, he attended this ceremony before in the past,” Leeper said. “You never expect your name to go up on that wall, but there’s always that possibility in the jobs we do.” The ceremony ended with a 21-gun salute, playing of “Taps,” “Amazing Grace” and with a closing prayer.Leeper pays tribute in his own way daily, wearing a wristband with all three deputies’ names, ID numbers, and their end of watch dates.
