RESOLUTION HONORING THE PUBLIC SERVICE OF
J. WAYNE DEAL
BE IT KNOWN that Jackie Wayne Deal was born in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, on December 6, 1943, the son of Ollen and Minnie Lee Deal.
Wayne graduated from South Edgecombe High School in 1962 and graduated from East Carolina University in 1967 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration. After graduation, he first worked at an Distributive Education teacher in Lawrenceville, Virginia. In 1970 Wayne moved to Macclesfield and began his career in public service as the Assistant County Manager of Edgecombe County.
In 1966, Wayne had been lucky enough to marry the lovely Sherron Herndon. Wayne and Sherron are the proud parents of two sons and a daughter-in-law, Cliff, Brandon, and Kimberly.
In 1974, Wayne was offered and accepted the position of Hertford County Manager. At that time, he had the distinction of being the youngest county manager in North Carolina. He served as County Manager, Personnel Officer and County Finance Officer of Hertford County where he became active at the First United Methodist Church in Ahoskie.
Wayne was hired as the Iredell County Manager in 1982 where he served for six years. While living in Statesville, Wayne was very active with the Boy Scouts and the Chamber of Commerce. He received the award as the Jaycee Boss of the Year in 1986. In 1988, Wayne returned to eastern North Carolina and became the Lenoir County Manager where he served until 1993.
Wayne began his job as Nash County Manager in March, 1993. Wayne and Sherron built a home at the Reservoir where he will enjoy his retirement. While in Nash County, Wayne has been very active with the Rotary Club. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Rocky Mount Area Chamber of Commerce and has been very active at First United Methodist Church in Rocky Mount where he currently serves as Chairman of the Administrative Board.
Throughout his career, Wayne has been actively involved with the International City Manager’s Association and the North Carolina City and County Manager’s Association.
We all know that Wayne is an avid outdoorsman and has a special love for rabbit hunting. More importantly, he has been a loving and devoted husband and father.
In his career in county government, Wayne has established a well earned reputation for his knowledge and ability to deal with the problems of Nash County, the operations and duties of his office, as well as all of the departments of Nash County. He has exhibited the constant ability to meet the needs of the people and to deal with the ever increasing regulation of government. Wayne has supervised an excellent group of county department heads and has a special ability to lead them without micromanaging their individual departments.
Wayne has dealt with the public in an effective and capable manner and has been able to balance the demands of the public, the needs of the County, and the ever increasing government and financial regulations by using good common sense and excellent judgment. On behalf of Nash County, Wayne Deal has exercised sound and wise judgment, he has given untiring and unselfish devotion, his complete loyalty and dedicated and professional service.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of Nash County, for itself, its individual members and the citizens of Nash County, that it hereby expresses our deep gratitude and sincere appreciation for the eight years of dedicated, devoted and untiring service which J. Wayne Deal has rendered, for the efficient and effective operation of his office and the performance of his many duties, for the guidance he has offered to the citizens of Nash County, his willingness to listen, aid and assist the department heads and employees of the County, for the sound judgment he has displayed on our behalf and for the wisdom and advice that he has given to this Board throughout this period. In beginning his retirement, he takes with him our respect, admiration and affection, and our best wishes for a long and happy retirement.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution be placed in the minutes of the September, 2001 Board of Commissioners’ meeting, that a copy of this Resolution be distributed to the media and that a copy of this Resolution be sent to Wayne and his wife, Sherron, as an expression of our thanks and appreciation for his many years of dedicated service to Nash County.
