James Brent Montgomery
HENDERSON â Vance County residents have come together over the last few weeks to express their support of local Highway Patrol Trooper James Brent Montgomery, who is fighting for his life at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill due to COVID-19.
His wife, Heather Montgomery, is asking the community to keep her husband in their prayers as he battles COVID-19, and is optimistic that some recent minor improvements with his condition are a positive sign that he will recover from the virus.
The trooper is on a heart-lung machine, receiving whatâs called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation thatâs purging carbon dioxide from his bloodstream.
