Dustin Brett Pope; commend life, meritorious service and selfless sacrifice as a fallen crew member of AirCare 3.
This is a commemorative resolution (not a policy bill) honoring Flight Nurse Dustin Brett Pope, who died in an AirCare 3 helicopter crash on March 10, 2025. The Mississippi House of Representatives formally mourns his death, commends his 15-year career in emergency medical services, and recognizes his selfless sacrifice as a UMMC AirCare crew member. The resolution extends condolences to his family and colleagues and aligns with Governor Reeves' declaration of March 17, 2025, as a day of mourning. It has no policy impact - it solely expresses legislative tribute to a fallen first responder.
