Jacksonville remembers Lieutenant Jimmy Lee Walls
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Members of the community gathered Saturday to honor the life of a retired lieutenant with Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department.
Jimmy Lee Walls died May 29.
His funeral was held Saturday, to remember his 25 years of service.
Walls was born in Alabama and lived in New York, but his family said he made Jacksonville home, too.
On March 11, 1988, Walls began his career with Jacksonville Fire and Rescue. It was a job that made sense for a man who cared about everyone, his daughters said.
