Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

It's been a year or more since Courtney's passing; however, I just recently found out. And I am devastated! Harrell, as I knew him was a very funny and devoted guy! I've known him for over 24 years and cherished our friendship. I will definitely miss his crazy humor and his great, in depth conversations about life! He'd always say to me "Applebees, you alright?!" I will surely miss that! Rest on Courtney!!!

You will always have a special place in my heart

My deepest sympathies to Courtney's family. He was my lawn care guy for many years, and we spent many hours talking in my driveway about motorbikes, vacations, home defense, you name it. I am missing his warm smile and his good-natured attitude!

To the family and loved ones of Courtney and the Dekalb County Sherriff's Office, I am so very sorry for your loss. Courtney and I began our careers in law enforcement together in Spring of 1991 at Georgia State University Police. He was a very proud and outspoken young man, and I was so happy that he had a successful career with the Dekalb Sheriff's Office. I will miss him and am saddened to hear of his passing. Carl Glisson

To the Hamilton family, All of you are in our hearts and prayers. We just learned of Courtney's passing today. He has been such a pleasure and joy to know for 18+ years. His smile and friendship will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace, our friend. Lee Ann and Lyn McCullough

Wow cuz this all seems like a really bad dream that I am continually praying to be woken up from...I just can't believe that you are gone...This was suppose to be the week that me, Carletta and Ayuanna came for a visit, but I guess God had different plans for. Until we meet again know that you you will FOREVER be in our hearts..Love you - Marla 💕❤💕❤
