The Flagler County government will for the first time publicly honor John R. Keppler Jr., a Flagler County volunteer firefighter captain who died after responding to an emergency call in 2002.
The County Commission voted unanimously at its Dec. 14 meeting to rename the county s fire training center on Justice Lane as the John R. Keppler Jr. Training Center. It has been a long road, Monica Keppler, Keppler s daughter, said at the meeting. He was 54 years old when he died. I’m lucky that I got to have him for almost 32 years. On behalf of my family, my mom, my brothers, the rest of our family and our friends who came to share this with us, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
