Wellpath is deeply saddened at the loss of partner, leader and friend, Sheriff Benny Napoleon of Wayne County, Michigan.  Benny passed away December 17th after a long battle with COVID-19. In addition to being a dedicated local icon who once ran for mayor, his daughter Tiffani Jackson asked that we all, “Remember his generosity, integrity and faithfulness as a public servant for over 45 years.”

Kip Hallman, Wellpath president, said, “The words that come to mind are gentle, kind, friendly, and caring. He was the perfect person for this time, a law enforcement leader who had experienced the challenges of racism as a young person, who came out with a clear sense of what is right.”  We send our deepest condolences to the Wayne community, sheriff’s office and his family.
