My prayers go out to Jermaine and his family. Not only has JSU, A.Q.A, and the SWAC page lost a good and kinda brother. But so have we in the Law Enforcement Community, and the citizens of our great state. Jermaine had just graduated from the Federal Law Enforcement Acdamy in Glynco, GA. He was a Federal Park Ranger. He worked the Natchez Trace in Madison, MS.
His first game back was the Grambling game, and he told me how much he had missed the excitment of the bands, and how glad he was to be back so he can catch the rest of the season.
Before he left to go to the academy, he came to me and asked me what to expect in the academy. I told him since he was in go physical condition, he would do fine with the physical fitness part. And the academic part would be a breeze because he was very smart and intelligent.
I was proud that he chose to dedicate his life to hleping others by working in law enforcement. Although he served only but a short time, he served well. We will miss you, and I will think of you when I travel along the Natchez Trace Prakway. Rest in peace my friend.
