Gabriel Morris Fish.
Deputy Gabriel Fish was shot and killed while attempting to arrest a bank robbery suspect. After a high speed chase involving nearly 100 officers, the suspect's car crashed and Deputy Fish was attempting to arrest him. During the arrest the man was able to gain control of Deputy Fish's revolver and shot him in the chest twice. The man then stole Deputy Fish's patrol car but was later apprehended. He was convicted of murder and initially sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted to life when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty was unconstitutional. He died in prison on March 10th, 2014. Deputy Fish was a military veteran of the Korean War.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Deputy Fish served with the Baker County Sheriff's Office.
Thank you for your service to the Macclenny community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
