BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Friday Night Locker Room’s Steve Wilson has been named Florida House District 32 Constituent of the Week for the week of April 20, 2025, being commended for his career in civil service and his work in raising awareness for pediatric cancer.

Representative Debbie Mayfield is the elected official for District 32.

FROM THE OFFICE OF REPRESENTATIVE DEBBIE MAYFIELD

Our Constituent of the Week is Mr. Steve Wilson.

Mr. Wilson was born in DeRidder, Louisiana and grew up in New Orleans and Macon, Georgia. He moved to Brevard County in 1984 and retired from local government as the Community Advocate and Assistant to the City Manager for the City of Rockledge in 2018.

Throughout his career, Mr. Wilson also served over 15 years as a Rockledge Little League volunteer demonstrating his sincere and long-term commitment to local youth and our community.

Mr. Wilson has earned countless awards throughout our community, below are just a few:

■ Brevard Public School Jefferson Award

■ City of Rockledge Employee of the Year in 2006

■ City of Rockledge Quality Public Service Award 2008, 2012, 2017

■ Rockledge Kiwanis Citizen of the Year 2012-2013

■ Space Coast Sports Hall of Fame – Sportscasting 2015

■ Rockledge High School Leadership and Service Award 2016

■ Space Coast Sports Hall of Fame – Lifetime Achievement 2020

■ Quality Floridian Award – 2022

Mr. Wilson has chaired two fundraisers in support of pediatric cancer through the St. Baldrick’s Foundation which have raised over $25,000.00 in honor of Merritt Island resident, Julie Spurlock.

He has been a partner for the past 26 years with the Friday Night Locker Room, a broadcasting team, that supports first responders and law enforcement personnel, showcases community and charitable events, and promotes youth sports.

Mr. Wilson is also a strong advocate for local non-profits that raise awareness and funding for pediatric cancer including the Mikey Strong Foundation which will be holding their “Golf FORE A Cure” event on Saturday, April 26th at Spessard Holland Golf Course (2374 Oak Street) in Melbourne Beach.

The event raises funds for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) brain tumor research and to support those battling the deadly disease. Sadly, there is not a cure for DIPG.

Mikey Goodwin was a 19-year-old student athlete from Brevard County when he was diagnosed with DIPG in February of 2020. He passed away just three months later in May of 2020. The Mikey Strong Foundation has since raised approximately $300,000 funds for DIPG research.

The “Golf FORE a Cure” tournament after-party will begin at approximately 4:30 p.m. and will feature a closest-to-the-pin contest, raffles, awards, food, beverages, and a helicopter ball drop. There is a $20 cost to attend the after-party.

The “Chopper FORE a Cure” ball drop will also feature Vivian Sleeth, a nine-year-old girl from Rockledge, who is currently battling DIPG. Vivian, her brother, Corbin, and their mom, Brittany, will be in the helicopter to release the golf balls for the “Chopper FORE a Cure” ball drop which will take place at approximately 5:30 p.m.

HD 32 is grateful to Mr. Wilson’s long career of civil service at the City of Rockledge. We are equally appreciative of his leadership and advocacy to raise awareness for events such as the “Chopper FORE a Cure” and DIPG research.
