EBENEZER, Mo. -- It was Oct. 6, 2007, when Greene County sheriff’s deputy Gary McCormack was killed in the line of duty. He and a volunteer firefighter collided at an intersection while responding to reported car accident on Missouri 13 in northern Greene County.
On Monday, a ceremony paid tribute to McCormack at the spot where the collision took his life on Highway WW at Farm Road 145. A stretch of Highway WW now carries McCormack’s name.
The sign bearing the tribute also has a phrase in Latin that colleagues say was one of McCormack's mottos in life: Nemo Macto Unus - No One Fights Alone.
McCormack left behind his wife and two young children.
