Tributes
I remember the day it happened. Lee County held its breath for a week - Adam was fighting at Lee Memorial, and everybody around here was waiting on word that never came the way we wanted it to. July 28, 2018. This community has not forgotten it.
He was twenty-nine. Three years on the Fort Myers Police Department, and before that a firefighter in New Jersey - a man who had already chosen twice to be the one who runs toward it.
He is on this wall permanently. No fee to see him, no one tracked for looking, no company that can take him down. That is the entire point of what we built here.
Rest easy, Officer Jobbers-Miller. Lee County remembers.
