Departments, citizens pay respects
Multiple emergency services departments and citizens paid their respects Friday, Feb. 17 as fallen Dublin VFD member and U.S. Marine veteran Jesse Rollins was returned home.
Rollins was killed Friday, Feb. 10 in a shooting incident still under investigation by the Erath County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Rangers. He had served as a volunteer firefighter since 2020.
Citizens are working together to aid the Rollins family including his wife and two kids.
This Sunday, there will be a taco fundraiser outside of the Dublin VFD. There will be Street Al Pastor Tacos (marinated pork tacos) for sale from 11:30 a.m. until they are sold out. All proceeds will go the Rollins family. Each taco will be $2 with your choice of fixings: onions, cilantro, limes and your choice of mild/hot sauces. The event is cash only.
“Our community can come together and do great things for others in a time of need. Let’s show our support and love for the Rollins family,” organizers said. Donations are also being accepted at First National Bank of Dublin.
