Please donate to help Lt. Meadows' family!

The Jefferson/Shelby County Chapter of the Alabama Police Benevolent Association and the Police Benevolent Foundation are asking for your financial support for the widow of Lieutenant Mark Meadows of the Irondale Police Department. On Monday, January 6th, Lt. Meadows was setting up traffic cones as part of his assignment while directing traffic at a local church when he was struck by a pickup truck. The driver remained at the scene, and Lt. Meadows was transported to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Lt. Meadows was 60 at the time of his death and had served with the Irondale Police Department for over thirty years. He also was a U.S. Army veteran and served with the 3rd Ranger Battalion and the 10th Mountain Division at Ft. Benning, GA. Lt. Meadows is survived by his mother, Mary Meadows, wife, Susan Meadows, children Garrett Meadows, Mary Kate Boykin, Aiden Meadows and granddaughter, Lucy Kate Boykin. He is preceded in death by his father, Gerald Meadows.

In a public statement, Irondale Mayor James D. Stewart Jr. said, “Lt. Mark Meadows was a treasured member of our Irondale family for over 30 years. He was a man of few words but always led by example and embodied the heart of a true public servant.”

100% of the funds received by the PBF will go to his widow.
