Retired Gwinnett County Sheriff Deputy Felix J. Cosme, Jr., age 63, of Dacula, Georgia, died a hero's death as he attempted to protect himself and a female co-worker from a violent criminal with no regard for human life on January 8, 2020.

Felix is preceded in death by his parents Felix J. Cosme, Sr. and Juanita Cruz Cosme. He will be greatly missed by his sisters Linda Cosme, Guissette Watkins (Jeff); nephews Ian Watkins, James Watkins, and Mateo Kielsmeier-Cosme, and his close friends.
Felix began serving law enforcement in 1979. He worked for Macon Police Department, Charleston Police Department, Newburg New York Police Department, and most recently the Gwinnett County Sherriff's Department, from which he worked as a Sergeant from April 2006 until November 2015.
