Statement from Mayor Demings on the Pulse Memorial | June 3, 2025

Orange County is proud to support the City of Orlando in creating a permanent memorial to honor the 49 lives lost in the Pulse nightclub tragedy. As Orange County Sheriff on that awful day, I promised the victims’ families we would find a way to honor and remember their loved ones. I never imagined I’d help fulfill that promise as Mayor. I hope that this memorial offers healing, honors those we lost, and brings comfort to those who grieve.”

-Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings
