Fulton County Deputy Troy Chisum is remembered as “a nice guy,” a great public servant and “a super hero.”
Funeral services were held Monday at Cuba High School for Chisum, 39, who was killed in the line of duty June 25 while responding to a battery and disturbance call in Avon.
“There will be never be enough that I or anyone else can say to lessen this heartache,” Chisum’s daughter, Kyleigh, told those gathered for the ceremony as she and her sisters Abigail and Gracie stood before the crowd. “You all lost something. But we lost everything.”

Kyleigh said said she and her sisters grew up to realize their dad is “a super hero.”
“There was never anything we needed that he wasn’t there for. He knew our family inside and out. If any of his girls were ever off in the slightest, he knew. We didn’t have to say a word,” Kyleigh said.
Kyleigh said she and her sisters always knew how much love was shared between their parents.
“We were constantly yelling that them to stop making out on the couch or for my dad not to grab her butt in public,” Kyleigh said. “My sisters and I have been inspired by their marriage every single day for the last 20 years.”
“There aren’t many people in this world that can say they are fulfilled in every single way by being a parent. But, as I have always said, my father was put on this earth to be a Dad. There was never a job that he was better at,” Kyleigh said.
“No one will ever understand everything that my family has lost. He is the biggest part of who we are and he always will be. We will long for him for the rest of our lives,” Kyleigh said.
“My family will live on because of the strength he has instilled in us. We are Chisum Strong.”
An outdoor ceremony included bagpipes, a 21-gun salute and taps along with airplane and helicopter flyovers and the traditional “end of watch” call on the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office police radios.
