A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
~Joseph Campbell
On January 3, 2013, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Sean Renfro was off-duty driving highway 285 with a friend when they stopped to help a motorist who'd wrecked in a snowstorm at Windy Point. Unfortunately, a car coming the opposite direction lost control on the icy road, crossed the median, and struck Sean and his friend Sam, killing Sean instantly.
At the memorial highway dedication ceremony yesterday, we heard about who Sean was as a person and the world is truly lessened for his absence. His widow Crystal Renfro hopes that these signs will serve as a reminder to please drive safely. His former football team that he coached blessed the signs with reminders they each signed.
Senator Tim Neville was who introduced the legislation requesting the memorial highway designation for Sean. He was aided by Representatives Leonard and Everett in the House. County Commissioner Don Rosier has been a tireless advocate for transportation and highway safety, he re-iterated that government can only do so much, we motorists must take responsibility and drive more carefully ourselves. He pointed out that our deputies who respond to help us only have a bright fabric vest as their protection out on the roads to keep them safe. Please watch out for them and help them get home to their families each night.
Life is precious and fleeting. It's how we live that defines us and Sgt Sean Renfro lived his life so incredibly well. He will be missed by his family, his colleagues, and this community.
I think that we all do heroic things, but hero is not a noun, it's a verb.

"Heroes represent the best of ourselves, respecting that we are human beings. A hero can be anyone from Gandhi to your classroom teacher, anyone who can show courage when faced with a problem. A hero is someone who is willing to help others in his or her best capacity."
