Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Remembering Sheriff Tom Simkins and his loved ones, as well as the members of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. The late sheriff was clearly a "deputy's sheriff" and great lawman. His memory is not lost and his sacrifice to the citizens of Florida not forgotten.

Your name has been inscribed on the Florida Sheriffs and the National Law Enforcement Memorial and in our hearts. May you forever rest in peace.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 112th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Your memory will always be honored and revered as time never diminishes respect.

Rest In Peace
