House Joint Resolution 706, sponsored by Representative Sherrell, honors the memory of Tommy Myers, Jr., a dedicated public servant from McMinnville, who recently passed away. Born on July 19, 1961, Myers served Warren County for over three decades, primarily as sheriff, where he was known for his integrity, commitment to community service, and advocacy for inmate rehabilitation. His law enforcement career began in 1991, and he rose through the ranks to become sheriff, a position he held until his retirement in 2022. Myers was also a passionate motorcyclist and professional motocross driver, reflecting his love for the outdoors.

The resolution expresses condolences to Myers' family, including his wife Chrystal, sons Clayton and Ty, and grandchildren. It acknowledges his legacy of integrity, compassion, and dedication both in public service and personal life. The resolution concludes by affirming the importance of remembering Myers' exemplary character and contributions to the community, and it calls for the preparation of an appropriate copy of the resolution for presentation.
