Mark Fulco Obituary: Yalobusha County Sheriff Mark D. Fulco, age 50, died early Monday afternoon. A career law-enforcement officer, Fulco was elected sheriff in 2020 and had worked long hours serving the citizens of Yalobusha County. Fulco was admitted to Panola Medical Center in Batesville on the morning of August 2. He told the Herald later that afternoon that he was battling pneumonia and had tested positive for Covid-19. “It is a tragic, tragic loss to our county,” Board of Supervisors President Cayce Washington noted during a special meeting called Monday afternoon at 3:20 to issue a statement about the loss of the sheriff.
“We send our condolences to the family and friends of Mark. We lost him today. He was a man who fought hard for what he believed in. He fought hard for his department. He fought hard for his men. I can’t say enough good things about his desire to be the best he could be, not only for himself and his department, but for his community,” Washington stated. Washington also noted that Fulco strived to serve the entire county, scheduling camps and community events in Coffeeville, Oakland and Water Valley.
“That deserves to be noted, that he was a sheriff for the entire county. He was as much a working sheriff as an administrative sheriff. I can’t say enough good things about the work he did. He will be sorely missed,” Washington added. Supervisors scheduled another special meeting for Wednesday, August 18, to appoint an interim sheriff. Chief Deputy Jerimaine Gooch will lead the department until an interim sheriff is appointed. The interim sheriff will serve until a special election is held on 8, 2022.
