In Loving Memory of Three Fallen Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Deputies

One year after a heartbreaking tragedy that shook Palm Beach County to its core, the community has come together once again—not in grief alone, but in remembrance, honor, and deep gratitude. Three dedicated Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputies, who lost their lives in a devastating crash while conducting a traffic enforcement detail, were honored in a powerful and enduring way on Friday. A newly renamed stretch of Southern Boulevard now bears the title “PBSO Motorman Highway”, a permanent tribute to the deputies whose service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

These deputies, known proudly as PBSO motormen, devoted their careers to protecting the roads and ensuring the safety of everyone who traveled them. Their roles were demanding, often dangerous, and carried out with unwavering professionalism and courage. On that tragic day one year ago, they were doing what they had always done—serving their community with honor—when their lives were unexpectedly and tragically cut short.

The renaming of Southern Boulevard stands as a symbol of remembrance and respect. As vehicles travel the highway each day, the name will serve as a reminder of the deputies’ bravery, their commitment to duty, and the ultimate sacrifice they made. It is a gesture meant not only to memorialize their service, but also to comfort the families, colleagues, and friends who continue to feel their absence so deeply.

Friday’s dedication ceremony brought together members of the sheriff’s office, local officials, community leaders, and grieving loved ones. Emotions were raw yet powerful, as stories were shared about the deputies—stories of their passion for their work, their love for their families, and their impact on the community they served. Moments of silence, salutes, and heartfelt words underscored the weight of the loss and the lasting legacy these deputies leave behind.

For the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, the pain of losing three motormen in a single incident is something that will never fully fade. Their fellow deputies continue to ride and serve with the memory of their fallen brothers in their hearts, carrying forward the mission they all shared. The designation of “PBSO Motorman Highway” is a testament to the unity within the department—a vow that their sacrifice will always be honored.

For the families, this dedication offers a space of solace and recognition. It stands as a meaningful reminder that their loved ones’ commitment, courage, and lives have left an indelible mark on Palm Beach County. Though nothing can fill the void left behind, knowing their stories will live on brings a measure of comfort and pride.

As the community reflects on the one-year anniversary of this tragic loss, they also reflect on the profound contributions these deputies made during their time on this earth. Their dedication, bravery, and service to others will forever be etched into the fabric of the county they protected.

In loving memory of the three fallen PBSO deputies—

may their names always be spoken,

their service always honored,

and their legacy forever alive on “PBSO Motorman Highway.”

May they rest in eternal peace, and may their families and brothers and sisters in uniform find strength, healing, and comfort in the enduring gratitude of the community they served.
