Deepest condolences to Sheriff Wardrip’s family and friends. You were a wonderful part of our community.

Garrard County Sheriff’s Office
November 28, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that the Garrard County Sheriff’s Office announces the passing of a true Garrard County legend, Sheriff Ronald “Ronnie ” Wardrip.

Sheriff Wardrip passed away today at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center in Danville following a brief illness.

He dedicated his life to serving others—retiring from the Kentucky State Police and then proudly serving 16 years as Sheriff of Garrard County. Most recently, he continued that service as the Court Security Director for the Garrard County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff Wardrip was known for his compassion, his steady leadership, and his deep love for the people of Garrard County. His impact on this community is immeasurable, and his legacy of service, integrity, and kindness will live on for generations.

Our entire office extends our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the honor of knowing him.
Sheriff Wardrip will be profoundly missed—but never forgotten.

A very special thanks to all the Sheriffs , Police Agencies, EMS, Fire and Rescue who provided our Hero with his final ride home.
