2:47Now PlayingOn a drive up a dusty dirt road in rural Strasburg, a small roadside memorial stands out against a weedy culvert. It's a tribute to Jimmy Brown, who died in a crash near that spot in 2019.
Over the years, Brown’s family built up the memorial, constructing a stone wall to stop water from washing out the site and a bench where family can sit when they visit.
But after more than three years, the family returned to the site earlier this month to find a note taped to the cross, covering the “We Miss You” message. It was a notice from Adams County giving the family two weeks to clear out the memorial. The Brown family had until Sept. 21 to remove it, the note read, or the county would remove the structure and could assess costs associated with that removal to the family.
“Thinking about taking this down kills me,” Tiffany Brown said, sitting on the stone bench. “It hurts me. This means everything to my family.”
