Col. Michael J. "Mike" Hettich

It's always bad when we lose a sheriff of this caliber. Met Mr Mike on many occasions including his home for concealed carry. These shoes will never be filled by another man. David Cardwell crl

I am so sorry about your husband. I had the honor of meeting him at Barren River at a DOCJ meeting back many years ago. what a nice man. Please know your family is in my prayers.

Mike - You touched so many peoples lives. You will be greatly missed by many. My prayers go up to you and out to your family.

My sincere condolences to Mike's family, both personal and those in law enforcement. He will be truly missed.

To Michael's family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss last week. I have many fond memories of Michael from years ago especially those with Ole Lady and the fun times back then. He was a great person that loved his family, especially his Mom. I know she is taking care of him again now. Please know that there are so many people that are thinking of all of you at this time of sorrow. Sincerely,
Gina Rose

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. My husband and I attended a CDW class at his home. He was such a wonderful person. He will be missed by all.

We were so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. I remember Mike as Beanie's nice little brother when I'd visit the farm many years ago. He sure turned out to be quite the man. It's clear he touched many people in his short life and that his legacy will live on forever. Your family has had so many tragic losses. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Hettich Family,
Mike had a distinguished career, respected by all and faithful community servant. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time of grief.
