Clarksville, TN – Erik Ranallo coordinated the Tyler Barrett Memorial Ride this past Saturday, October 15th, 2016, at 2:30pm. The ride was organized to raise money for the Shop with a Cop Program.
Today, Erik Ranallo presented checks from the ride to the Clarksville Police Department’s Chief Al Ansley and Detective Dennis Honholt, the current Police Union President. They raised just over $3,600.00.
Mr Ranallo is one of the many individuals Detective Tyler Barrett positively influenced when he was a young man.He said he plans on making the memorial ride an annual event and hopes the participation increases every year.
Detective Tyler Barrett passed away in November of 2015. Tyler put his heart and soul into the CPD and the Clarksville Community.
He was instrumental in organizing the Shop with a Cop Program for less fortunate families, he helped in organizing the Clothe a Child Program with the Clarksville Police Union, he coached and mentored Clarksville teens, and he helped in organizing multiple CPD events.
The impact Tyler had on the Clarksville Community is evident. Mr Ranallo made a plan, organized it, and more children will benefit at Christmas time because of it. Thank you, Mr Ranallo and the participants of the first annual Tyler Barrett Memorial Ride!
