David Krivanek Obituary October 31, 2025 – Thomas Poteet & Son Funeral Directors

Augusta, GA – David Krivanek, 84, of Augusta, Georgia, passed away peacefully on October 31, 2025. Born in Mishawaka, Indiana, he was the son of the late Anthony and Vera R. Krivanek.

A devoted husband and loving father, David is survived by his wife, Judy, his son, Matthew, and daughter-in-law, Jenna Krivanek. Family was the center of his world, and his life was defined by his extraordinary kindness, steadfast determination, and deep devotion to those he loved.

David’s lifelong passion for aviation reflected his curiosity and sense of wonder. He loved airplanes and flying, and his enthusiasm for all things aviation never waned. Professionally, he dedicated more than 30 years to Eisenhower Army Medical Center, where he was instrumental in developing the hospital’s nuclear medicine department — work that made a lasting contribution to the Augusta community.

A man of strong faith, David was a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Augusta, where he found fellowship and purpose.

A service will be held on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. in the Storey Chapel at First Baptist Church of Augusta, with Dr. Will Dyer and Dr. Roger Murchison officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to the Heart Failure Society of America, online at https://hfsa.org/foundation.

Memorial contributions may also be made to the Benevolence Mission at First Baptist Church of Augusta, 3500 Walton Way Ext., Augusta, Georgia 30909.

Officer-involved shooting leaves 1 hospitalized on Telfair Street

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – An officer-involved shooting left one person hospitalized on Telfair Street early Friday morning.

Deputies say they responded to the 200 block of Telfair Street around 1:05 a.m. after multiple 911 calls reported several individuals were involved in a fight. Calls also reported shots were fired.

According to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy was fired upon when arriving to the scene.

The deputy returned fire, striking one individual at least once, according to deputies.

The sheriff’s office says evidence at the scene indicates multiple shots were fired.

Deputies rendered first aid to the injured individual until EMS arrived. The individual was transported to a local hospital by Central EMS, the sheriff’s office says.

The suspect is listed as stable, and has been assigned a hospital room, according to deputies.

Authorities once released from the hospital, the suspect will be arrested and booked into the Charles B. Webster Detention Center. They say they anticipate the suspect will be in the hospital for a while.

No deputies were injured during the incident.

The sheriff’s office says the area remains secured, with traffic blocked in all directions, while evidence is collected and witness statements are obtained.

The Regional Use of Force Task Force has been notified and is responding to assume the investigation. The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the scene.

The shooting remains an active and ongoing investigation.

This is the first officer-involved shooting in Richmond County this year.

The last officer-involved shooting was in October 2025. A Richmond County deputy was injured in a shoot-out with a wanted man on Washington Road.
