Deputy Ben Zirbel of the Clay County Sheriff’s Office was killed while on patrol Aug. 21, 2018. Having left behind his wife and then-eight-year-old son, Dr. Soleymani stepped in to raise money in the wake of their loss. He collaborated with NYC Meatballs in Oakleaf to host a food, car wash and car ride fundraiser wherein all of the proceeds went to Zirbel’s family.
