It was a poignant morning in Sterling’s Senaca Ridge neighborhood as a new park was officially opened in honor of Firefighter Trevor Brown.
Hundreds of neighbors joined area fire-rescue personnel and local officials for heartfelt speeches at the opening ceremony of the FF Trevor Brown Memorial Park.
Brown was killed in the line of duty on February 16, 2024 when a gas leak at a home caused a tremendous explosion. The property where the home once stood – 347 Silver Ridge Drive – is the site of the new park.
Steve and Cheryl Honard, who live nearby, bought the property after the explosion in order to turn it into a place for the community to remember and to heal.
The Black Chamber Group, a local data center developer and Capretti Land, a real estate developer were major supporters of the project as was K&H Landscaping, which oversaw the construction of the park.
Today –July 26 – would have been Trevor Brown’s 47th birthday.
