The resolution honors the memory of Daryl Wayne Brown, Sr. by requesting the Alabama Department of Transportation to designate the bridge on Interstate 20/59 that spans Grant Creek in Tuscaloosa County as the Daryl Wayne Brown, Sr. Memorial Bridge. Daryl Brown, born on November 28, 1960, served as an Alabama State Trooper for 28 years before retiring in 2009. He was a dedicated family man, married for 41 years to Lucille Brown, and a loving father and grandfather. Tragically, he passed away in a car accident near the bridge he is being honored by.
The resolution emphasizes Daryl Brown's commitment to his community and his faith, highlighting his service as a trooper and his role in ensuring public safety. It calls for the Department of Transportation to work with local officials to implement the designation and to erect appropriate signage to commemorate his contributions and legacy.
