SAD NEWS: Corporal Robert McKinney with LPSO has died after his two week battle with COVID-19. The following is a message from Sheriff Jason Ard on the passing of one of his own. Sheriff Ard: It breaks my heart to report that Corporal McKinney died today following an almost two-week-long battle with COVID-19. His courageous battle has impacted every member of the LPSO & those in the community who have been following his wife’s status updates on social media. Know that your care, concern & support reached his family. For those of you who didn’t have to pleasure to cross his path, let me tell you a little about Robert McKinney: He became part of the LPSO on May 16, 2011. He was assigned to the Livingston Parish Detention Center as a correctional deputy. He eventually worked his way into a supervisory position as a shift Corporal. If you knew him, you liked him. He was easy to like. Robert was always glad to be at work and loved the people he worked with. He never met a stranger and loved serving & protecting the people of Livingston Parish. He was proud to wear the badge. Our favorite memories are when McKinney would tell stories about his wife and daughter. He was so proud of his family! He told anyone who would listen about his love for his family. I’d like to share these words from Robert’s wife, Leslie: ‘Please continue to pray for not only our family but the other families that are hurting. Pray for the Dr’s and nurses as they try to fight this battle. Robert always told me he was gonna be waiting on a woman! Well now he’s waiting on 2!’ We offer our condolences to Robert’s family, wife Leslie and daughter Presley. Please remember his family and co-workers in your prayers. Isaiah 6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” There won’t be another like McKinney. We will all miss him at the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office. While arrangements are being sorted out, we encourage you to share your memories/thoughts/well wishes for Robert. We’ll make sure to get them to his wife…’
My cousin Robert Mckinney met Jesus face to face today. He was a 40 year old LPSO Deputy. Thank you for your prayers. My final update 8/5 @ 12:00… My precious selfless husband was needed in Heaven more. Oh to see his face light up when he saw Jesus! No sadness, no covid, no worries. Please continue to pray for not only our family but the other families that are hurting. Pray for the Dr’s and nurses as they try to fight this battle. Robert always told me he was gonna be waiting on a woman! Well now he’s waiting on 2!
Robert Mckinney will be missed. He was a good fellow. He was always something when it came to standing his ground (hardheaded) if he believed he was right when talking to him whether about work or other things.
