The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office (RCSO) is mourning the loss of former Sergeant Mike Logue, who passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. Logue retired in 2023 after nearly 40 years of service to Augusta-Richmond County.
He began his career with the Sheriff’s Office on June 15, 1984, and was promoted to sergeant on August 12, 1990.
Known for his professionalism, integrity, and compassion, Logue earned deep respect from colleagues and community members alike, according to a press release from RCSO.
In April 2014, he received the Medal of Valor for confronting an armed suspect who had just shot a deputy. His quick thinking and bravery prevented further harm and reflected the courage and dedication expected of law enforcement officers.
“Sergeant Logue served this community with heart, courage, and humility,” said Sheriff Gino Brantley. “He led by example and demonstrated the highest ideals of this profession. We are grateful for his decades of service and the lasting impact he made on the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office and our community.”
Outside of his official duties, Logue was known for his friendly smile and warm greetings while working special duty assignments across Augusta-Richmond County, including his frequent post at Windsor Jewelers.
His kindness and respect toward others left a lasting impression, according to a press release from RCSO.
Logue’s daughter, Jennifer, continues his legacy through her work with Richmond County 911 Dispatch, supporting deputies and first responders daily.
His passing comes as the Sheriff’s Office also remembered Deputy J.D. Paugh, who gave his life in the line of duty 14 years ago — a reminder of the risks law enforcement officers face and the enduring bonds of service that unite them.
The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office extended condolences to Logue’s family, friends and colleagues, stating that his service and sacrifice will not be forgotten.
At the close of the Sheriff’s Office’s announcement, the department shared a verse:
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” — Matthew 5:9
