On Saturday morning October 17, 2020, Deputy Joe Koehler responded to a residential fire in Pasco County Florida. He was struck by a vehicle while working the scene. Joe suffered a TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY resulting from skull fractures, inner ear damage as well as broken ribs, and multiple body contusions and cuts.
Although he miraculously survived the impact his recovery will be long and financially taxing on his wife Erin and family. He is being sent to a specialized TBI rehab facility in Jacksonville for further evaluation and treatment. Erin will not be leaving his side. As such she is not working.
Please help Joe and Erin by donating funds that will assist the family. Estimated costs cannot be determined at this time. Undoubtedly, costs will arise from travel, lodging, meals, etc.
This Deputy has served his community for more than 20 years. Now it's our time to serve him. Please help.
