ALLEGAN COUNTY (WHTC-AM/FM) — Allegan County Sheriff’ Frank Baker has announced, via a Facebook post, the death of Deputy Brian Augustine, who was diagnosed with colon cancer three years ago, and had to retire for medical reasons.
Augustine’s death, Baker said, “ended his battle but not the war. He lives on in our hearts and in the minds and souls of everyone who was touched by him. He was a field training officer who influenced numerous deputies here at the Sheriff’s Office. He shared not only his knowledge and skills; but most importantly, acted as a mentor to those who will carry on his idea of what it takes to be a Deputy with our agency and the importance of what they represent.”
