The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office said it was with “deep sadness” to report the death of Tulsa County deputy Santiago Rodriguez, who passed away unexpectedly Wednesday morning following a medical emergency that occurred while he was off duty.
Rodriguez, 40, had been a deputy at the sheriff’s office for 14 years. Over his career, Rodriguez received letters of accommodation for his work as a deputy at the Tulsa County Courthouse.
“He lived a career of service, not only to the citizens of Tulsa County, but also to his country, through his time as a member of the Navy Reserve,” said TCSO spokesman Casey Roebuck. “Dep. Rodriguez was a loving father to his four children. He will be greatly missed by all of his coworkers and friends here at the sheriff’s office.”
Funeral services are pending.
