Laurens County Deputy Christopher Motes is currently undergoing tremendous health issues, facing the challenges of kidney cancer which has metastasized to his lungs and his brain.
On Friday, January 19th, Chris had a seizure and an MRI showed a tumor on his brain. This Thursday January 25th, Chris will undergo a radiosurgery procedure to prepare him for a very extensive surgery on Friday, January 26th to remove the brain tumor.
This procedure will render him unable to return to work for a significant amount of time. Medical bills and expenses related to follow-up appointments will still require payment. In addition, Motes' wife Tabitha works for the Laurens County Sheriff's Office Animal Control. Due to the nature of Deputy Motes' health and surgery, Tabitha will be out of work as well to care for him during his recovery.
Let's come together to rally behind one of our own, a brave deputy who selflessly serves and protects. Chris and Tabitha are both kind and giving people who need our help. LCSO will stand by them during this difficult journey.
You can donate using this fundthefirst fundraiser link. You can also donate via Venmo to @LaurensCountySheriff using Motes as the memo. Monetary donations can be dropped off at the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office during normal business hours, please specify the donation is for “Motes.”
Thank you for your support and prayers for Chris and Tabitha.
Updates
It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news of the passing of Deputy Christopher Motes on June 21, 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer. Deputy Motes was a dedicated member of our Law Enforcement family, serving our community well and often expressing his desire to one day return to work even in the midst of his health issues. We extend our deepest condolences to Deputy Motes’ wife Tabitha, who is also an employee here at LCSO. His family, children, friends, and loved ones are in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. Please keep them in your prayers. We would like to thank the many individuals, agencies, and businesses across South Carolina and beyond who donated to assist the Motes family in previous months. Your generosity made their burden a little easier to carry and allowed them to focus on what was most important to them. "Deputy Motes remained strong and courageous throughout his battle with this terrible cancer. He kept a positive attitude and had such a willingness to fight, not to mention his desire to get back here and serve this county. We mourn his loss and we will continue to be there for his family." -Sheriff Don Reynolds Deputy Motes, your kindness and service will forever be remembered. “I have fought the good fight.
