Ed Moody known as “Mr. Franklin” was instrumental in the establishment of the Franklin Boys & Girls Club. “Just as Mr. Moody did, this year’s recipients, along with their fellow firefighters, have inspired the community to go above and beyond to ensure hundreds of kids receive their wishes each year” said Denise Carothers, Williamson County area vice president.
Mackey is a 27-year Franklin Fire Department veteran assigned to Station 2 on Murfreesboro Road and he and his wife, Jeannie, live in Franklin. Their daughter, Jordan, is a sophomore at Centennial High School, and their son, Dylan, is a fifth grader at Freedom Intermediate School.
