A FINAL TRIBUTE 

A Hero Lost 

Community Mourns Orlando Police Officer Lt. Debra Clayton 

by Karen V. Contino 


Ann Varkey 

Broker/Realtor for 27 years | Luxury Home Specialist 

Selling or Buying Homes 

Orlando Police Lt. Debra 

Clayton leaves a legacy of bravery, 

community activism and a smile 

that could transcend barriers. 

“She was a role model for so many 

and a mother figure to some of the 

young girls, who would turn to Debra 

for advice,” said Orlando Police 

Chief John Mina at Clayton’s funeral 

service, where he posthumously 

promoted her from the rank of master 

sergeant to lieutenant. “And who 

wouldn’t be put at ease when faced 

with Debra’s infectious smile? I’ve 

heard from many kids this week that 

when Debra smiled, no matter what 

you were feeling about law enforcement, 

you had to smile back. Debra 

knew that something as simple as a 

smile could lead to a real connection, 

and I’ve never known anyone better 

at building those bonds.” 

Orange 

County Public 

Schools 

recognizes 

its former 

student, the late 

Orlando Police 

Lt. Debra 

Clayton. 

Clayton, 42, who died Jan. 9, 

2017, when she was shot and killed 

outside a Walmart by a suspect on 

the run, proudly served the Orlando 

Police Department for more than 17 

years. She is survived by her husband 

of one year, Seth Clayton; 

her adult son, Johnny Brinson; 

her parents, Rudolph Thomas 

Sr. and Yvette Shakelford; a sister 

and brother for whom she was 

caregiver, Ashley Thomas and 

Rudolph Thomas Jr.; siblings 

Nikkie Anita Huey Young, 

Rayshaw Shackelford and 

Alton Huey; an aunt and uncle, 

Charlotte and Cordell Woods; 

and many other loving family members 

and friends. 

“My sister was a beautiful person 

inside and out,” Ashley said at a 

recent candlelight vigil. “She would 

give you the shirt off her back.” 

Born and raised in Central Florida, 

Clayton was a 1993 graduate of Dr. 

Phillips High School, where she 

also had served as a school resource 

officer. 

“Debra would just light up a room 

with her smile,” said JuaNita Reed, 

Clayton’s former guidance counselor. 

“When we would have a counseling 

session, Debra would always express 

her love for working in the community. 

At first she told me that she would 

like to become a guidance counselor. 

Then one day she said, ‘I think I want 

to go into law enforcement.’ That is 

exactly what she did.” 

“She decided, no, I want to be a 

police officer, because she felt like 

she would do more in the community,” 

said DPHS Principal Secretary 

Deloris Patterson. “She could 

reach more children by being out in 

the community. 

“Debra was involved in countless 

community activities and had a passion 

for working with and investing 

in the youth. Debra worked tirelessly 

to bridge the gap between the community 

and law enforcement.” 

“She was an active participant in 

all of our youth mentoring programs,” 

Mina said. “Operation Positive 

Direction [Youth Mentoring Program], 

Parramore Kidz Zone, you name it. 

She was a member of our Dueling 

Dragons of Orlando Dragon Boat 

Team, a very unlikely partnership between 

inner city teens and Orlando 

police officers. Debra knew the importance 

of this program, where barriers 

and walls were broken down 

and where officers and kids used 

teamwork to achieve a common goal.

READY FOR SPRING? 

“But the magic behind these initiatives 

are the relationships and bonds 

that are forged over time. Debra 

loved those programs because they 

helped humanize police officers.” 

Clayton also organized multiple 

“Stop the Violence” rallies, was an 

active member of the Central Florida 

National Organization of Black Law 

Executives (NOBLE), and was a humble 

recipient of numerous awards and 

commendations. In addition, Clayton 

authored Bridging the Gap Between 

Law Enforcement and the Community. 

“The police are here to help you,” 

Clayton told dozens of residents at 

an Orlando Police Department summer 

event. “We are not here to hurt 

you; we are here to help you.” 

She will also be remembered for 

her fortitude in defending the community 

she worked so hard to unite. 

"Know that she never thought [her 

death] would happen at that time," 

Patterson said. “But she was willing 

to do what was necessary to protect 

the community. That was just Debra. 

I know there’s a place greater for 

her. Her crown is waiting for her.” 

During a candlelight vigil, just two 

days and only a few feet from where 

Clayton lost her life, Brinson recalled 

his heroic mother’s bravery. 

“She lived for it, and she died for 

it,” he said. “She was the prime example, 

everything she worked for, 

she died for.”

said he hopes to continue to make a 

difference in Clayton’s honor. 

“Her life was as genuine as her 

smile,” he said, recalling his former 

student. “The teacher should inspire 

the student. There is no evidence that 

it happened. But I know her story will 

inspire me now. There is still a race 

to run, young black males to teach, 

and a community to change. With 

God’s help, I will continue to do that. 

Thank you Lt. Debra Clayton.” ª

BUSINESS PROFILE 

For the Love of Photography 

Winter Garden Resident Turns Passion Into Business 

Lower School K4-6th Thursday, 

March 30 8:15am-9:45am 

Middle & Upper School Thursday, 

April 6 8:30am-10am 

tonyrappa@capturevideo-photo.com 

Tony Rappa, owner of Capture Video and Photo, is an FAA-approved commercial 

aerial photographer. 

There aren’t many people who are 

able to turn a hobby they love into 

a business that can support them. 

Those who accomplish this feat find 

true happiness. Tony Rappa is one 

of those lucky individuals. 

Rappa started Capture Video 

and Photo in 2009 after years 

of providing photography services 

free of charge to friends and family. 

Today, his company is a leader in 

providing state-of-the-art photography 

and video services to legal and 

real estate professionals in Central 

Florida. Additionally, the company 

offers high-resolution personal portraiture 

and event video at an affordable 

rate. The service is popular with 

both corporations desiring quality 

photos of their staff for their websites 

and couples who are getting engaged 

or planning their special day. 

The legal profession benefits from 

Capture’s services by having a permanent 

video record of information 

vital to a case, giving a lawyer 

an edge that cannot be achieved 

with transcripts alone. Rappa 

can edit videos to highlight evidence 

and arrange it for maximum 

effectiveness. 

The company also offers 360-degree 

and aerial drone imaging, 

which allows for virtual walk-throughs 

and viewing the natural environment 

of homes for sale. It can also add 

a special dimension to the recording 

of events. In fact, Rappa is an 

FAA-approved commercial aerial 

photographer. 

“Anyone can fly a drone with a 

camera attached,” Rappa said. “To 

get the maximum result, you need to 

know the rules governing the use of 

drones and have the proper photographic 

equipment.” 

Rappa possesses both. He also 

uses the latest photography technology, 

including 4K video. 

“Our cameras record the raw 

video in 4K, which is four times the 

amount of resolution previously available 

in 1080p cameras,” Rappa 

said. 

Being on top of the latest technology 

can get rather expensive for a

small business owner. But, Rappa 

keeps ahead of the curve when it 

comes to purchasing new photographic 

equipment. 

“As brand-new technology becomes 

available, I purchase it and 

am able to sell my existing equipment, 

since it is still the most acceptable 

in use,” he said. 

Capture Video and Photo uses that 

same advanced technology to deliver 

the highest quality products for weddings 

and other life events. Shoot 

schedules can be customized to fit 

any budget, and Rappa believes ongoing 

communication is imperative 

to the planning and execution of recording 

an important event. The company 

also documents sporting events, 

shoots music videos and records live 

concert photography and video. 

Rappa is committed to making the 

smallest possible negative impact on 

the planet. To that end, his work is 

delivered digitally without any plastic 

waste and, most times, within 24 

hours of the shoot. When he started 

the company, Rappa made a commitment 

to give back to the community 

that allows him to live his dream, and 

he continues to do that to this day. 

He is happy to record golf tournaments 

and other fundraising events 

free-of-charge for nonprofit organizations. 

He also generously donates 

goods and services for silent auctions 

at many charity events. 

Recycle Across America is one of 

Rappa’s favorite causes, for which he 

is proud to lend his services. RAA is a 

nonprofit agency with a goal of standardizing 

the labels showing what 

can be recycled and where. Locally, 

Orlando International Airport is the 

first international airport to begin using 

the standardized labels in all terminals, 

and Winter Park is the first city 

to implement the standardized labels 

on all of its residential rollaway carts. 

Capture Video and Photo does 

not operate in a studio setting. 

Rappa goes on location to shoot his 

assignments, wherever that may take 

him. 

Tony Rappa can be reached at 407-883-7555 

or by emailing tony@capturevideo-photo.com. For

planet, visit www.capturevideo-photo.com. ª

IN YOURNEIGHBORHOOD 

Art and Karen Brown of 

Turnburry traveled to New Zealand to 

meet Karen’s lifelong pen pal, Robyn 

Chrystal. The women have been 

writing to each other since 1948, 

when Karen was in first grade. Their 

compiled by Lauren Salinero 

communication survived all of the 

Browns’ moves throughout the years 

— 23 moves in 24 years, serving in the 

U.S. Army. The Browns enjoyed meeting 

the Chrystals and their family, seeing 

the sheep and other animals on 

their property, and walking with them 

through the beautiful countryside. 

Karen and Robyn each have four children, 

and they were married just one 

month apart in 1962. Art and Karen 

also were joined by their children and 

grandchildren in Queenstown, New 

Zealand, to attend the wedding ceremony 

of their youngest daughter, 

Dr. Phillips High School graduate 

Carrie Brown, to Adam Fox. The 

family concluded its trip in Sydney, 

where they watched New Year’s Eve 

fireworks, climbed the Sydney Bridge, 

and visited Australian Rotary friends 

who had visited Central Florida
