Funeral arrangements have been made for two Fulton County deputies killed in a crash Tuesday morning on their way to pick up an inmate from the Augusta area.
Kenny Ingram, 55, and Anthony White, 48, were traveling on I-20 near Grovetown shortly after 11 a.m. when their Dodge Charger hit the back of a tractor-trailer that was stopped for traffic, according to the Georgia State Patrol. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the sheriff’s office, both Ingram and White were assigned to the agency’s Law Enforcement Division, which is responsible for transporting inmates to and from the county jail. Ingram worked for the sheriff’s office for nearly 15 years and White’s eight-year work anniversary would have been in December.
“These men had a profound sense of duty throughout their distinguished careers with this agency and for us and this county, the loss of these deputies is devastating,” Sheriff Ted Jackson said in a statement.
Ingram’s viewing will be held Sunday from noon until 7 p.m. at the Donald Trimble Mortuary in Decatur, according to his online obituary. His funeral service will be held Monday at noon at Mount Ephraim Baptist Church on West Marietta Street in Atlanta.
White’s family will hold a private visitation Tuesday afternoon from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Murray Brothers Funeral Home in southwest Atlanta. A celebration of life service will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday at Ephraim Baptist, and he will be buried at Mount Harmony Memorial Gardens in Mableton, according to his obituary.
A captain at the sheriff’s office has set up a fundraising page to assist the families of both men. As of Friday morning, the page had raised nearly $7,500.
