One of MPD's own laid to rest

Although Jamie Wilson was from next-door Hancock County, he left quite an impression on Milledgeville, and he had many friends here.

Wilson, 40,  on Saturday afternoon was laid to rest. Wilson spent almost half of his life, 19 years, as a dispatcher at the Milledgeville Police Department.

"Today we laid to rest Dispatcher Jamie Wilson. Jamie will be missed by his family, friends and coworkers," wrote the MPD on its Facebook page. "While we are sad he is no longer with us, we know he is in a better place and we are doing our best to keep smiling just like Jamie always did. Jamie’s funeral brought a lot of past members of the department together today and we had fun catching up and sharing stories about Jamie."
