Mr. Jamie Everhart — Retired Davidson County Sheriff’s Office Telecommunicator
With deep sorrow, we announce the death of Mr. Jamie Everhart, a retired member of the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office Communications Division, who passed away last night. Jamie was more than a colleague; he was family to those who served alongside him. As Sheriff Simmons shared, Jamie’s presence, professionalism, and kindness left an enduring mark on the department. His passing has been felt profoundly by friends, coworkers, and the community he helped protect.
Jamie devoted his career to public service, bringing calm, skill, and compassion to the demanding work of emergency communications. He served with steady excellence, guiding responders, reassuring callers, and embodying the quiet heroism that keeps communities safe. Colleagues remember Jamie as the person you wanted beside you when the phones were busiest and the stakes highest—knowledgeable, unflappable, and generously supportive.
His dedication grew from a foundation of learning and training at Davidson County Community College, where he studied telecommunication, completed firefighter certification training, and studied EMT Basic. That commitment to expanding his skills reflected both his curiosity and his desire to serve with integrity. Jamie’s work ethic and broad expertise made him a trusted mentor and a dependable friend, the kind of teammate who lifted others up and made the difficult days easier.
Beyond the headset and the radio, Jamie was known for his humor, warmth, and genuine care for people. He brought light into the room and steadiness into every situation, leaving behind memories of laughter, thoughtful advice, and the sense that no one was ever alone when he was on duty. Those who knew him best speak of a person who “knew everything about everything” and shared that knowledge with patience and grace.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Jamie’s family, friends, and his Sheriff’s Office family. May you find comfort in cherished memories, strength in one another, and peace in knowing his service made a lasting difference. The community he served is grateful, and his legacy will endure in the lives he touched.
Rest easy, Mr. Jamie Everhart. Your life was a blessing, your service honourable, and your memory will remain a guiding light for those who continue the work you loved.
