Dickson County is mourning the loss of Captain Trevor Daniel, the longtime head of the Criminal Investigations Division for the Dickson County Sheriff's Office, who died on Thursday after a nearly four-year battle with glioblastoma. Daniel joined the sheriff’s office in 2000 and is survived by his wife, Kristi, their children and grandchildren.
Career And Service
According to the Dickson County Sheriff's Office, Daniel served in a wide range of roles over the course of his career, including patrol deputy, field training officer, detective, SWAT team member, K-9 handler and terrorism liaison officer before becoming captain of the Criminal Investigations Division. The department notes that he brought more than two decades of policing experience to the job and worked major investigations across Dickson County.
Glioblastoma And Prognosis
Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain tumor with a poor prognosis. Even with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, median survival after diagnosis typically measures in months rather than years. The American Cancer Society reports that long-term survival is uncommon and that five-year survival rates remain low.
Department Asks For Prayers
In a post on the Dickson County Sheriff's Office Facebook page, shared via Facebook, the department asked the community to "keep Captain Daniel's wife Kristi, their children, grandchildren, family, friends, and coworkers in their prayers." The post said Daniel had been battling glioblastoma for almost four years and noted that funeral or service arrangements were not yet included.
