The Speedy Memorial Foundation extends our deepest condolences to the Van Zandt County Sheriff's Office as they mourn the tragic loss of Deputy Adam Sherefi.

Deputy Sherefi was killed in the line of duty while assisting Canton Police Department officers in serving a felony arrest warrant. A Canton police officer was also shot and wounded and remains in stable condition.

Deputy Sherefi leaves behind his wife and three children, including a baby born just last month.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, the injured Canton police officer as he recovers, and the Van Zandt County community and fellow law enforcement officers during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Deputy Sherefi. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. You will not be forgotten. 🙏💙

Within the last 24 hours, Texas has lost two heroes in duty-related vehicle incidents.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Mabank Fire Department and to the family of Charlie Woodard.

Mabank Fire Chief Charlie Woodard, who also served as a police officer, was tragically struck and killed overnight while directing traffic.

🖤💙 In Loving Memory of Corporal Jose Luis “Speedy” Espericueta Jr.💙🖤

On June 20, 2019, Corporal Jose Luis “Speedy” Espericueta Jr. of the Mission Police Department made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. He faced an armed suspect with courage and bravery and did not hesitate to put himself in harm's way to protect the community he loved. Through his selfless actions, he helped save countless lives.

Today, we remember and honor Speedy, a hero in every sense of the word. He dedicated his life to serving and protecting others and made the ultimate sacrifice while doing so.

While our community lost a dedicated officer, his wife lost her husband, and his two children lost their father. Not a day goes by that he is not loved, missed, and remembered. His memory lives on in the hearts of his family, friends, fellow officers, and all those whose lives he touched.

Through the Speedy Memorial Foundation, we are blessed to continue bringing people together in his honor and making a positive impact in our community. Because of your support, we are able to carry on his legacy of service, compassion, and giving back.

To everyone who has supported the Speedy Memorial Foundation, and to all those we have met along the way—thank you. There are not enough words to express our gratitude. We appreciate each and every one of you.
