Derrick Bonham Memorial Fund

The Tennessee Police Benevolent Association and the Police Benevolent Foundation are asking for financial assistance for the family of Weakley County, Tennessee Sheriff’s Deputy Derrick Bonham.

Deputy Bonham was shot and killed in the line of duty on January 30, 2026. Deputy Bonham was responding to assist Martin Police Department officers at a disturbance at the Days Inn in Martin, Tennessee for possible shots fired. Upon arrival deputies observed an occupied vehicle leaving the nearby gas station, with the driver of the vehicle firing shots at the officers, striking Deputy Bonham. Officers responded to the shooting scene and took the shooting suspect into custody, as Deputy Bonham was transported to local hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.

Sheriff Terry McDade describes Bonham as “kind, quiet and humble”, and is asking for prayers for the family.

Deputy Bonham began working at the Weakley County Sheriff’s Office in February 2024. He is survived by his wife Nicole, and their three young children.

Adam Willis Recovery Fund

The Alabama Police Benevolent Association and the Police Benevolent Foundation are asking for financial assistance for Adam Willis. Adam is the husband of Jacyln Willis who serves as an Officer with the Oxford, AL Police Department.

In 2024, Adam was diagnosed with a form of brain cancer. He went through treatment and seemed to have stabilized after more than a year. Adam’s doctor later provided a “best case scenario” that his life expectancy was five years, and the cancer was extremely aggressive.

On Sunday, December 7th, 2025, Adam began displaying stroke-like symptoms. Jaclyn took him to the University of Alabama hospital where they discovered the preexisting tumor had enlarged, placing pressure on a ventricle, and additional masses were observed.

On December 23rd, 2025, Adam and Jaclyn had an appointment with the neuro-oncologist, and the scans show that the tumors are growing and behaving as a higher grade. Original plans were for a biopsy, but his medical team has developed a plan of treatment that includes infusions and radiation to slow down the growth of the tumors. Adam is continuing with his treatment and needs our support.
