Sergeant Randy Clay has retired after more than 35 years of service with the NCSO.
At his retirement party on Friday, February 28th, Sheriff Elmer Tanner, and Captain Kevin Scott reflected on Sergeant Clay’s career and how much his absence would affect the Sheriff’s Department.
Clay started his journey with the Navarro County Sheriff’s Office while working at Withrow Furniture with Otis Dunagan who was a Reserve Officer in 1985.
Dunagan talked him into joining the Reserve in 1986.
After joining the Navarro County Sheriff’s Office Reserve Division, Clay moved to Corrections and was one of the few remaining public servants to have worked in the old jail before the current NCSO building was built.
He has worked for three different Sheriffs in his time of service, a rare occurrence. Clay retires as a Detective Sergeant with the CID.
Clay has stated his proudest accomplishment while with the Sheriff’s Department was while assisting now retired Chief Deputy Morris Steward on the investigation of the murder of 6-year-old Hannah Mack and getting a conviction for her untimely and gruesome death.
Clay says he is looking forward to more time with his family and friends.
He met his wife of 18 years, Lisa, while she was working in the Justice of the Peace Office.
They share three children and have two grandsons and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their first granddaughter.
After retiring, Clay is looking forward to taking trips on his motorcycle with his Blue Knights Club members, a group in which Clay serves as President.
