Sargent Best was the first officer on scene when my nieces 9 year old daughter, Ariana, passed away. He held hands with my niece and her fiancé in the hospital and said a prayer over her body. I will NEVER forget you and your true act of compassion. You are a very special man. My heartfelt prayers for strength and healing go to his wife and two children, his parents and sisters and brothers in blue. Rest In Peace Sargent Best.
