Bio: Deputy Key had served as a corrections officer with the Grayson County Sheriff's Office for 3-1/2 years. He had served as a patrol deputy for only two months.
===================================================
Chad was born in Sherman, the son of Barry and Becci Wright Key. Chad first married Andrea Dollins on April 2, 1993. She preceded him in death on Dec. 23, 2004. Chad later married April Chree Allison on Oct. 16, 2010.
Deputy Key graduated from Sherman High School. He joined the Sheriff's Office in 2009 as a corrections officer. Co-workers say it was his dream to become a Sheriff's deputy. That dream became a reality not long ago. He put himself through night classes at Grayson County College and achieved that goal in June of last year. In August, he was selected by a Board and he was promoted to patrol deputy on February 2, 2013. He had been a patrol deputy for just 77 days. Chad loved being outdoors and fishing, especially with his sons. |
