OZARK — Matthew Sasser finds great purpose in his role as the first designated chaplain for the Dale County Coroner’s Office. “To be able to minister to people, even people
Sasser is Associate Minister at Ozark Assembly of God where he and his wife, Amanda, also serve the children’s ministry. He recently joined the team at the coroner’s office at the request of Dale County Coroner Woody Hilboldt and Deputy Coroner John Cawley, who is now coroner-elect following Hilboldt’s retirement.
The duties of a county coroner are 24 hours a day, seven days a week and include being called to the scene of traffic accidents and unattended deaths. In addition, counties assume responsibility when a deceased person’s next of kin cannot be located or when no one will step up to pay burial costs. Cawley credits the Dale County Commission and Chairman Steve McKinnon with steady improvements to the coroner’s facilities from a time when the morgue was housed at Dale Medical Center, then to a mobile morgue trailer in 2017 to now the current stand-alone multi-roomed office.
“It’s something I always envisioned,” said McKinnon. “I feel confident that the families and the deceased receive the dignity and respect they deserve. I think we can all agree to that.” Dale County Sheriff Deputy and Deputy Coroner Lt. Adam Bruhn has worked with the coroner’s office since 2014. “We are fortunate to have a deputy coroner who brings a law enforcement background to the team,” said Cawley. “He is on site to ensure that accurate chain of custody is maintained for a deceased’s belongings. A safe is on site for any of the deceased’s property needing enhanced security.”
