A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERCHANGE LOCATED AT EXIT 22 ALONG INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 20 IN AIKEN COUNTY “DEPUTY SHERIFF JASON L. SHEPPARD INTERCHANGE” AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS INTERCHANGE THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS “DEPUTY SHERIFF JASON L. SHEPPARD INTERCHANGE”.
Whereas, Deputy Sheriff Jason Lannes Sheppard was the son of Emily Lott Brown and James Melvin Sheppard, Jr.; and
Whereas, he was married to Shelley McCurdy Sheppard; and
Whereas, as a Deputy Sheriff employed with the Aiken County Sheriff’s Department, he tragically lost his life on December 7, 2006, while directing traffic along United States Highway 1 in Aiken County; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to memorialize this fallen deputy by naming a highway interchange in Aiken County in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the interchange located at Exit 22 along Interstate Highway 20 in Aiken County “Deputy Sheriff Jason L. Sheppard Interchange” and erect appropriate markers or signs at this interchange that contain the words “Deputy Sheriff Jason L. Sheppard Interchange”.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
