Elgin Daniel - Law Enforcement - Georgia

Police Officer Elgin Daniel, age 53, died in the line of duty on November 12, 2012, in Stockbridge, Georgia.

Elgin was a member of the Henry County Police Department. He had 2 years of service. He had retired from the DeKalb County Police Department with 26 years of service. 

A motorist had run out of gas and was being assisted by Officer Daniel and a roadside assistance worker. As the roadside assistance worker put gas into the car a pickup truck entered the area and struck him and Officer Daniel before fleeing the scene. 

Father, place Elgin on
the Stairway to Heaven
Both men were transported to a local hospital where Officer Daniel succumbed to his injuries. The roadside assistance worker was seriously injured.

The driver who struck them was apprehended later that evening. He was charged with vehicular homicide, serious injury by vehicle, hit and run, and failure to maintain lane.

Elgin Daniel is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his mother Canolia Daniel; sisters; Doris and Delores; brothers, Edward, Caesar and Wendell; his wife, Teresa Daniel; his daughter, Schariss, and his sons, Gabriel and Jairus. 

Pray for all who die in the line of duty. Amen.

Pray for the roadside assistance worker who was seriously injured.  Amen. 

Let us pray that Elgin Daniel is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
