In Orlando Florida, on
February 10th 2014, Deputy Sheriff Jonathan Scott Pine a 2-year veteran from the Orange Country Sheriff's Office, was
responding to a call on multiple car break-ins when he was shot and killed by
the suspected burglar. To honour the sacrifice of Scott Pine, the Homeowner’s
Association in the neighbourhood where he was killed, designed and install a memorial replicating the officer’s badge.
A local custom masonry contractor,
Jim Doane, started with the preparations of the 5.2m badge to coincide with the
one year anniversary of the tragedy. From the time the project was
approved, to the night of the dedication ceremony was only 15 days, so Jim was faced with a tough challenge to get the memorial finished very quickly.
“It’s impossible to take on a
project like this one and not get personally involved. Despite the short
timeline and environmental challenges, there was no way any of us were going to
let the community down. The tile supplier and LATICRETE eagerly donated the
materials, and the finished memorial is beautiful.” ~ Jim Doane, Jimbo’s Creative Masonry.
All those who were involved with
the project shared a commitment to honouring the memory of Deputy Sheriff
Jonathan Scott Pine in a meaningful and permanent way. All the pieces of the
project came together and were installed in time for the dedication ceremony
and the monument provides a lasting tribute to the officer’s sacrifice. Read
