On the late Mike Pannell’s 70th birthday, a stretch of Murray County highway was named in his honor. Friends and family gathered to celebrate the occasion.
The Choctaw Nation Honor Guard presented the family with a flag during the ceremony.
State Sen. Jerry Alvord also attended and read a citation recognizing Pannell’s service.
SSgt. Kenneth Michael Pannell retired honorably from the U.S. military, the Davis Police Department and the Sulphur Fire Department, leaving a legacy of courage, integrity and selfless duty.
Alvord said the well-organized dedication ceremony reflected Pannell’s long-standing impact on the community.
