CEREMONY HELD TO HONOR LATE CHARLES MIX COUNTY PROBATION OFFICER, JERRY BARNETT

Gerald “Jerry” Barnett was a man of service both professionally and personally. Jerry was well known to go above and beyond what his job description called for. He was known to often have to omit or fudge hours on his time card because he would go well over the allotted 40 hours a week in his role as a Charles Mix County probation officer. Jerry took his role as a probation officer very seriously and would do all that he could to help his probationers succeed, using any available resources and being willing to try different approaches to find what would best help his probationers. He often worked tirelessly and went above and beyond what his role as probation officer called for, in an effort to help his parolees and the people in his life.
