On Tuesday, the district confirmed the death of longtime-educator Deborah Menendez-Holloway.
Menendez-Holloway, 51, was a second and third-grade teacher at Arlington Elementary School where she just started teaching English this year. For 17 years, she taught at Love Grove Elementary.
Her daughter, Regina, told News4Jax her mother’s passion was education, even outside school hours.
“I was always in a school with her reading and learning about everything that I possibly could,” Mendez-Holloway’s daughter said. “She just she loved it. She absolutely loved it.”
Samantha Jackson, a former student, wrote:
JACKSONVILLE The name is Jacoby Joshua Wright. Shaun Wade knew him well.
The case number is 857597, and Wade doesn t want that to be all there is for people who didn t.
There is so much more to know about Jacoby Wright, Wade insists; so much more that inspires, motivates and even now, five years after his death, evokes laughter in Ohio State s star cornerback.
But none of those qualities are listed anywhere in Case No. 857597.
To all who didn t truly know him, and few did Wade and a small circle of friends called him Coby for short Wright is indeed a number now as one of 113 homicides in Jacksonville from 2015. The hard facts are these: a Florida Highway Patrol officer noticed the 17-year-old s arm extending from brush that was obscuring his body on a dirt road adjacent to a dead-end street on Jacksonville s Northside, shortly after 3 a.m. on Dec. 20, 2015.
