"Matthew was one of the first faces we saw when coming in the back door. He selflessly showed up and worked hard for Tarrant County. He served well and is greatly missed already," the sheriff's office wrote in the post. "His wife, three children and a host of family, friends and co-workers are mourning his loss today."
Pagan's death comes just a day after the sheriff's office lost Deputy William H. "Howard" Gudgell to COVID-19.
