Funeral procession of Covington police Lt. Wade Sharp (7 photos)
Created on May 2, 2011
The funeral procession of Covington police Lt. Wade Sharp heads down Columbia Street near the St. Tammany Parish Justice Center Monday, May 2, 2011, in Covington. It took 16 minutes for the procession to pass the courthouse. Sharp, 40, was killed Wednesday, April 27, while protecting his 9-wear-old daughter, Bailey, from a falling limb during a thunderstorm at a campground in Mississippi. As a 19-year veteran of Covington police, Sharp had a reputation for life-saving heroics. In 1997, he was awarded the department's Medal of Valor after rushing in to save a man and his dog from a burning apartment in the River Oaks complex on Lurline Drive. Almost a decade later, he would risk his life in another burning building by crashing through a window into a smoke-filled home on Jahncke Avenue to carry out a resident who had lost consciousness and suffered from burns on 28 percent of his body. Officials said that if Sharp, who needed treatment for smoke inhalation after the rescue, and the firefighter who aided him had gone in moments later, the man would have died.
