Thanks to a $5,000 grant, Team Depot of the West Melbourne Home Depot and many volunteers built a memorial garden for Capt. Carlos Navedo, who died unexpectedly on June 4th as the result of a medical episode.
The two picnic tables have "Back the Blue" flags painting on them, showing support for law enforcement officers — officers like Navedo, who served and protected his community for decades.
West Melbourne Police Department officials will soon put up a plaque in the area to honor Carlos Navedo.
