Burger joined the department in 2003. She went on to hold leadership roles in several divisions of the sheriff’s office before earning a promotion to lieutenant in 2020, the sheriff’s office said.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Cass County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Robyn Burger...” the Sheriff’s Office said on social media Saturday. “Please keep the burger family in your prayers.”
As of early Saturday afternoon, nearly 100 people have commented on the Sheriff’s Office Facebook post about Burger’s death. Some recounted stories of interactions with the lieutenant on and off-duty.
Pat Setser commented, saying Burger always had time to say “hello” and had a great sense of humor.
“This is a great loss for her family, the sheriff’s office and our community,” Setser said.
Malinda Geiger said on Facebook that she remembered Burger for her kindness.
“Robyn was one of the kindest, sweetest souls ever,” Geiger commented. “I’m so grateful to have had the honor to work with her. Many prayers to all her loved ones and our (law enforcement officer) family. She was one of the really great ones.”
