Keisha Huff has always admired his father, Greg Fugitt, not only to be a fantastic father but also for his commitment to serve the public. Fugitt, 58, began his career in 1980 as a firefighter and emergency medical workers before eventually becoming a police officer in Östra Kentucky in 1996, when Huff was 7.

When he grew up in Kentucky, Huff has many good memories of his father during his time in law enforcement. Some of her favorites include arriving in school dances and proms in a police car, with her date sitting in the back seat.

“It was always a fun time,” says Huff, now 36, people exclusively. “Some other memories include looking at him serving our society. He helps to run the Toys for the Tots program here in town, which gives toys to children in need at Christmas. He has not only been our city’s manager, but also our city’s Santa many times. He is known for dressing up and visiting nursing homes, parades, children and more in his santa.”

“For many years it was just me and him,” she adds. “He has always been my real superhero. I admire him for so much, but what stands out most is that he raised me on his own for almost all of my childhood. He did it with low -paying salary too, but still I never wanted anything. He made sure I took care of.”

After several years of service, about a year ago, Fugitt told his daughter and family that he planned to retire. Recently, when Huff realized that his retirement date was approaching, she felt a sense of grief. “It’s a life I’ve known for many years,” she says. “I’ve always been known as a” police child “. It felt like saying goodbye to part of my identity.

Until her father’s last day, Huff says she felt a mixture of emotions. Right before her last conversation, Huff adds how she and Fugitt had taken up her daughter one last time from school in Grandpa’s squad truck. Then they went to the police department for his last call, who was with his wife.

“After 29 years of wearing this brand with pride and 14 years as your manager has it time to hang it,” he begins. “It has been an honor to serve this society.” He continues by thanking his colleagues, society and his loved ones and adds that this job is “more than a career, it’s a cold.”

From the beginning, Huff says that her father knew he wanted his wife to be the one to give him his last conversation. “It was a really special moment for them,” says Huff.

During the conversation, the Huff moment caught the camera. Since her youngest child is only 8 months old, she knew he would not remember her grandfather as a police officer, as her daughter has, and she wanted these memories for him.

Later she decided to publish the video on TiktokWhere it went viral, almost 11 million views and 26,000 comments collected. Huff adds how when she told her dad about the video he couldn’t believe it.

“It was crazy,” Huff tells People. “My messages would update with new ones within seconds. I joking with Dad that we might get enough views for me to send him on a well -deserved holiday.”

“Most of the comments were so supportive and heartfelt,” she continues. “It reminded me of how respected our officers are. Everyone was very cute.”

Huff says the family plans to host a pension party to celebrate his father and his lifelong career in the coming weeks.

“There are still many people who hate and fear the police,” she says. “I hope it shows that the police are also just mothers, fathers, men and everyday people with a family at home. It gave some insight into his personality outside the uniform.”
