Today, the Summers County Sheriff’s Office was honored to serve as the funeral es**rt for Kile Lewis Farmer.

Kile was a proud veteran of the United States Army who served in combat during the Vietnam Conflict. For his service, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Meritorious Service in connection with ground operations against hostile forces.

Among Kile’s proudest honors was being named an Honorary Deputy of the Summers County Sheriff’s Department by Sheriff Garry E. Wheeler—a distinction he held close to his heart.

Kile’s commitment to service did not end with his military career. He instilled that same spirit of service in his family. Two of his sons and one grandson went on to serve as deputies with the Summers County Sheriff’s Office.

Today, we were honored to return that service by es**rting one of our own home.

Rest easy, Kile. Your service, sacrifice, and legacy will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

Thank you for your service, Sir.

Today, Sheriff Faris had the opportunity to meet with West Virginia Senator Vince Deeds. During the meeting, Senator Deeds presented the Summers County Sheriff’s Office with $4,000 in funding to support the purchase of our new drone.

This generous contribution is a tremendous boost to our drone program and will greatly enhance our ability to serve and protect the citizens of Summers County through improved search and rescue operations, disaster response, and criminal investigations.

We are incredibly grateful to Senator Deeds for his support and investment in public safety. Thanks to his contribution, we are now just $5,000 away from reaching our fundraising goal.

We also want to thank everyone in our community who has supported this project. Every donation and contribution brings us one step closer to making this important resource a reality.

On May 25, deputies with the Summers County Sheriff’s Office responded to a UTV accident on True Road in the Pipestem area of Summers County. The UTV was occupied by multiple juveniles. One of the passengers, Ryleigh Goins, was partially ejected from the vehicle and sustained serious bodily injuries.

There are moments in this profession that remind us just how fragile life can be. While not every story has the ending we pray for, today we are blessed to share one that is a true testament to God’s grace, the power of prayer, and the strength of the human spirit.

After several months of medical treatment and rehabilitation in Roanoke, Virginia, and Georgia, Ryleigh was able to return home to Summers County today for the first time since the accident. Chief Deputy Adkins was honored to provide a police es**rt as she made her journey back home.

From the very beginning, countless people lifted Ryleigh and her family up in prayer. Today, we have witnessed those prayers being answered. While she still has a road to recovery ahead of her, Ryleigh has made incredible progress and has surpassed what many of her doctors expected at this stage. We give God all the glory for the healing He has already provided and pray that He continues to strengthen and guide Ryleigh through the days ahead.

The Summers County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the dedicated doctors, nurses, therapists, first responders, and everyone who played a role in Ryleigh’s care. Most importantly, we thank God for watching over her and bringing her safely back home.

Please continue to keep Ryleigh and the Goins family in your prayers. We know that God is not finished with her story, and we look forward to celebrating each milestone as she continues her recovery.
