“Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember and honor the life of a firefighter/paramedic from my district, Mr. Allen Singleton, who sadly passed away in late January of this year. Allen was a 6-year veteran firefighter who joined the ranks of Marion County Fire Rescue on September 12, 2016, where he was a proud member of the Rolling Greens Station number 28 and he was a member of the local SWAT Medic team, just like my husband. Our community was truly fortunate and blessed to have experienced his service, but more importantly his heart, for others. As the wife of a firefighter and first responder, I understand the courage and sacrifice that it takes every day to do this job and know the challenges that our heroes face while serving our community. Allen will forever be remembered by his colleagues and the fire family for the unforgettable difference that he made and the lives he touched during his many years of service in Marion County. To Allen's family, know that the entirety of Florida's Third Congressional District stands with you and behind you during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends, family, and the entire Marion County Fire Rescue team as our community mourns this great loss. Honoring the Life of Tripp Wooten”
