In Loving Memory of Deputy Devin Jaramillo
It is with deep sorrow, heavy hearts, and profound grief that we share the tragic loss of Deputy Devin Jaramillo, a devoted 27-year-old officer of the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, who was fatally shot while responding to a traffic crash in the Kendall district on Friday, November 7, 2025. His passing has sent a wave of heartbreak throughout the law enforcement community, his family, friends, and the countless individuals whose lives he touched through his work and his unwavering dedication to service.
Deputy Jaramillo answered the call to serve because he believed deeply in protecting and uplifting others. He was not simply a deputy by uniform or title, but by spirit—courageous, compassionate, principled, and committed to doing what was right, even when it was difficult. In every situation, whether routine or dangerous, his goal was to bring safety, resolve conflict, and help others return home to their families. Tragically, he made the ultimate sacrifice in the very act of fulfilling that calling.
Born and raised in Miami-Dade County, Devin understood the community he served because it was his own. From a young age, he held a strong sense of responsibility and a deep loyalty to others. Those who knew him remember a man who carried himself with quiet strength—humble, steady, and reliable. His colleagues describe him as someone everyone wanted in their corner: dependable during intense moments, light-hearted during long shifts, and supportive in times of stress and uncertainty. Whether leading by example or offering encouragement to new recruits, Deputy Jaramillo embodied everything honorable about law enforcement.
Outside of his uniform, Devin was known for his warm smile, quick wit, and unshakeable love for his family. He was a son, a brother, a friend, and a mentor. To his loved ones, he was a source of laughter, comfort, and guidance. His presence filled rooms with a calm that made others feel safe. He loved deeply and genuinely, and he approached his relationships the same way he approached his service—with heart and sincerity.
The circumstances of his passing remind us of the profound risks that law enforcement officers face every day—risks most will never see or fully understand. Deputy Jaramillo did not hesitate when duty called. He stepped forward to help others, just as he had done countless times before. His sacrifice stands as a solemn testament to bravery—one that can never be forgotten.
Though his life was taken far too soon, his legacy of honor will continue to live on. It lives in the officers he served beside. It lives in the community he protected. It lives in the hearts of those who loved him and continue to love him still. And it lives in the invaluable reminder that heroes walk among us every day—quietly, selflessly, and courageously.
To the Jaramillo family, we extend our deepest sympathy and unwavering support. May you find strength in the love that surrounds you, the memories that sustain you, and the undeniable truth that Devin’s life made a lasting difference in this world. No words can ease the pain of this loss, but we stand with you in solidarity, gratitude, and profound respect.
