Sgt. Brian Atkins, with the Pickens County Sheriff's Office, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, April 8, 2024. He leaves behind his wife of 34 years, two children, and six grandchildren. The Blue Crew is setting up this fundraiser to help with Atkins family through this difficult time. 

From the Pickens County Sheriff's Office: "It is with a heavy heart that the Pickens County Sheriff's Office announces the unexpected passing of Sergeant Brian Atkins, who suffered a cardiac event at his home early this morning. Brian began his career with the Pickens County Sheriff's Office in 2011 when he joined the detention center. Brian later transitioned to the Uniform Patrol Division, where he most recently served as the Sergeant of the Charlie Team. Brian was an exceptional Deputy who was loved and cherished by many. Brian's warm nature and infectious smile endeared him to all who knew him. His sudden departure has deeply shaken the Pickens County Sheriff's Office, underscoring the profound impact he had on our Sheriff's Office family. We share in the grief of the Atkins family and friends during this difficult time."
