Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, who dedicated decades to public service and became a household name to metro Detroiters, died Thursday evening following a month-long fight with COVID-19.
Napoleon was with family when he died at Henry Ford Hospital, his daughter Tiffani Jackson said. He was 65.
In a text message while still at the hospital, she thanked the community for its prayers and asked that they continue.
As Wayne County residents think of her father, she also asked them to turn their memories toward his dedication. Remember his generosity, integrity and faithfulness as a public servant for over 45 years, she said. Remember how kind he was to everyone he came in contact with and how much he loved his family.
