Franklin County commissioners on
Tuesday took time to remember Brian Stephen Smith, a St. George
Island first responder who drowned on August 25th while attempting to
rescue a father and son who had gone into the water in very rough
conditions.
He was 56 years old and had been with
the St. George Island fire department since 2016.
Brian left behind a wife a son and a
daughter..
The commission began by remembering
Smith and his family during the opening prayer.
Afterward the board approved a
resolution honoring Smith's life and held a moment of silence in his
memory.
The resolution called Smith a “fallen
hero who was unselfishly dedicated to his family, his friends and his
community.”
Commission chairman Noah Lockley
thanked the family for his service and said the county is deeply
sorry for their loss.
Commissioner Smokey Parrish said the
entire community feels the loss.
