County Mourns Loss of U.S. Army National Guard Major and NYPD Officer Sorffly Davius

Joint Statement from County Executive Ed Day & County Legislature Chairman Jay Hood Jr.

“On behalf of the residents of Rockland County, we extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and fellow service members of Major Sorffly Davius. Major Davius dedicated his life to serving others — as a member of the U.S. Army National Guard, an NYPD officer, and previously as an FDNY paramedic.

His commitment to protecting and helping others, both here at home and while serving our nation overseas, is a true testament to his character and courage.

We are profoundly grateful for his service and sacrifice and are flying our flags at half staff in his honor as we keep his loved ones in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”
