RIP our dear friend. Thank you for always taking care of us. It is now our turn to take care of you. Rest easy, we’ll do the heavy lifting from here. ❤️
With an extremely heavy heart, we must share with you the passing of one of our most beloved 911 operators, Kelvin Johnson.
Kelvin served the citizens of Sarasota County for 35 years and was only eight days away from retirement. Kelvin began his career in 1986 as a communication controller for the City of Sarasota. As a result of consolidation, Kelvin was hired by the sheriff’s office in October of 1995 and went on to work as a fire dispatcher. Over the years, Kelvin earned numerous commendations and was highly regarded, respected, and admired by those in our Emergency Operations Bureau.
Kelvin, we don’t quite have the words. We love and will miss you. Please, rest easy. 💔
