Retired Sheriff James Campbell passes

It is with great sadness we announce the death of retired Cherokee County Sheriff James Campbell. Sheriff Campbell began his career with Cherokee County in February of 1994.  
Sheriff Campbell devoted 26 years of service to the citizens of Cherokee County before retiring in September 2020.  Prior to becoming Sheriff, he retired as a highway patrolman for the Texas Department of Public Safety. 
We thank Sheriff Campbell for his dedicated 54 years of service to this state and the citizens of Cherokee County.  Sheriff Campbell was a true public servant and devoted his life to his community and family.  Though he is no longer with us, Sheriff Campbell has left a permanent mark on both civilians and law enforcement officers that will continue to guide and inspire us. 
Sheriff Campbell will be deeply missed, and his memory will be cherished by all who knew him. During this difficult time our thoughts and prayers go out to Sheriff Campbell’s family.

Brent Dickson,
Cherokee County Sheriff
