BREVARD HALL OF FAME APPOINTS SHERIFF IVEY TO BOARD

Sheriff Wayne Ivey

Brevard Hall of Fame has announced that Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey has joined their board of directors according to John “Coach” Tice, founder and president. Sheriff Ivey accepted the position as of January 2016.

Honor America, the organization that oversees the Liberty Bell Museum and Melbourne Military Memorial Park near downtown Melbourne also houses the Brevard Hall of Fame.

“We are honored to have Sheriff Ivey join our board,” stated Tice. “Our organization highlights the roots and foundation of many celebrities who hail from Brevard so it’s fitting that Sheriff Ivey, a pillar of our community, be part of the organization that promotes renowned public figures.”

 

"I am honored to serve as a Board Member for this incredible organization that does so much for our community. The Brevard Hall of Fame stands to recognize and remember those in our community who have represented Brevard County with the spirit of professionalism, athleticism, and honor that is the true essence of our community," stated Sheriff Ivey.

Brevard Hall of Fame, established by Tice in 2002 and incorporated in 2012, is the only museum in Brevard that showcases famous celebrities who were born or lived in Brevard County and includes athletes, comedians, movie and television celebrities along with other famed individuals who have been inducted over the years. Mr. Tice has accumulated exhibit materials showcasing more than 40 famous Brevardian’s ranging from Jim Morrison of the Doors to Doug Flutie, Heisman Trophy winner and professional football player for the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots.

Most recently the organization learned that officials in France were seeking someone to assume responsibility of the burial plot of Jim Morrison and move it from a cemetery in Paris back to Brevard County where Morrison was born.

“Morrison’s birth here makes him a native son,” states Tice. “According to many European countries, the place of birth should also ideally be the resting place of any famous talent, especially in the music profession. Spain, Italy and Germany are just a few examples of countries that have spent decades tracking down famous musicians from as far back as the 1800’s and moved them to their final resting place in their native homeland.”

 

Should the relocation look promising, the Brevard Hall of Fame will make arrangements to secure the future site to discourage vandalism.

The Brevard Hall of Fame, located within the Liberty Bell Museum at 1601 Oak Street in Melbourne is open to the public Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 4pm and Saturday 10am to 2pm and is free of charge. Information and tours can be arranged by calling 321-727-1776.
