Sid, this year you will turn 60 years old on October 8, and Matt is turning 25 on October 12. You served your community Sid and gave your life fighting a house fire. Matt has followed in your boots, and on his birthday is the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service, where he will be an escort. It all comes together on that day. I sure miss you and wish you were here to see both our sons growing into young men. I love you! Bonnie

Dear God, through the intercession of our patron, Saint Florian, have mercy on the souls of our comrades who have made the supreme sacrifice in the performance of their duty, and on all who have gone before us after years of faithful discharge of their responsibilities which now rest on ourselves. Give us Grace to prepare each day for our own summons to Thy tribunal of justice. Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. Withersoever Thou callest me, I am ready to go. Merciful Father of all men, save my from all bodily harm, if it be Thy will, but above all, help me to be loyal and true, respectful and honorable, obedient and valiant. Thus fortified by virtue, I shall have no fear, for I shall then belong to Thee and shall never be separated from Thee. Amen.

Terry Wayne Jacobs (aka Jake)– an incredibly intelligent, talented & thoughtful man, with an infectious smile who loved to recite crazy colloquialisms.
Though type rated & very skilled in various aircraft, a mechanical failure in the CH54A placed him and his Co-Pilot Pantchenko into God’s arms.
But family & friends all know how fortunate he was to die doing the two things he loved most – flying and helping others.
Ter will always remain the only man who totally stole my heart and though I miss him every day, I feel so blessed to have had him in my life.
My thanks to all of those brave men and women who fight fires every day and to those who are now shining above us.

On the 8th of this month was 15 years since I lost my best friend, my hero, my dad. I was 19 when he was taken. I had never experienced the loss of losing a loved one before. I had a extremely hard time. And then 9/11 happened. The one thing that helped me understand why is what my aunt said. Honey God knew this was going to happen. And he needed your dad’s help for all those victims. Without question he would put his hand out to help. Every year on his day I send a white balloon with a letter writen on it and I send it up heaven. Dad is miss you so very much. My heart still aches like it did 15 years ago. Growing up i didn’t have a actress or super hero idol. Because I had him. It’s amazing how one person from a very small town could touch thousands of hearts. Thank you to this site, thank you for forgetting my hero. Allan mac marriott. Love you always mandatoast.

Thank you for making this fallen fire fighters wall and having my Great grandfather’s name on this wall it means so much to our family. If we would have known his name was on it, we would have been there when it opened! I just wish my Grandfather was alive to see it. He lost his Father when he was 15 months old he never got to know him. My son is a fire fighter. We are planning a trip up to see with my Dad (his Grandfather was Amos Willits) and my Grandkids. On behalf of the Willits family thank you again.

The Last Alarm
Anonymous
My father was a fireman.
He drove a big red truck and when he’d go to work each day
he’d say, “Mother wish me luck.”
Then Dad would not come home again
’til sometime the next day.
But the thing that bothered me the most
was the thing’s some folks would say,
“A fireman’s life is easy,
he eats and sleeps and plays,
and sometimes he won’t fight a fire
for days and days.”
When I first heard these words
I was too young to understand
but I knew when people had trouble
Dad was there to lend a hand.
Then my father went to work one day
and kissed us all goodbye
but little did we realize
that night we all would cry.
My father lost his life that night
when the floor gave way below
and I’d wondered why he’d risk his life
for someone he did not know.
But now I truly realize
the greatest gift a man can give
is to lay his life upon the line
so that someone else might live.
So as we go from day to day
and we pray to God above
say a prayer for your local fireman.
He may save the one’s you love.

November 19, 1988 – Kingston, NY – Roger Dudley Snyder answered his final alarm – a car accident – and he ended up dying that day on duty directing traffic around the scene of the accident. I miss his still – it still hurts. I am his oldest daughter. He gave his life doing what he loved best – being of service to his community. I am signing this banner in his memory. God watch over and protect all the men and women who take that same risk he took on a daily basis. Thank you to all them many men and women around the country who help keep us safe.

The day my husband passed away in a accident just below our house was the worst day of my life. Three years ago an accident call went out at 2:39 pm just below our house. My husband and I responded in our POV. I went to the patient and my husband went to traffic control. Traffic stopped the fire truck had arrived. The truck was backing up at a rate of speed of about 5 mph. My husband tripped and fell hit his head on the pavment and then the firetruck backed over him at 3:10 pm my husband was gone. I was still with the patient. When I got to my husband, it was a horrific sight. It was a horrible accident and no one was at fault but he was gone. I was devastated and my life changed that day forever. The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation was and is a blessing to me. I have made many friends of other fallen firefighters and they help me threw this terrible time. I’m still fighting to get threw the trauma of that day, but with the grace of God and my fallen firefighter family, I can do it. I will be here for all fallen firefighter families to help them through their loss as well. God bless you all!

We still have your heart here on earth in Jenny, and that we will FOREVER be thankful for.
As most everything in life you did… YOU ROCKED being a big brother. Not much I can say that I haven’t already told you. You know my heart through and through.
Thanks for some of the best memories of my life. I’m sure when we meet again we will catch up and then back to some fun loving shenanigans.
LT. DALE A BROWN
You did good! You will forever be in my heart, my smile, and my shenanigans.
So much love, honor, respect, and pretty fantastic memories I will forever hold with me. I smile because you’re my brother… I laugh because we sure had a good time.

Uncle Dale “Brownie” Brown, there were so many things I wanted to say to you before you left us, I wanted to thank you for loving me and supporting me as if I were your daughter. I wanted to tell you just how much I loved you with all my heart. How nothing was ever going to be the same without you here. I’m sorry I never got the courage to tell you this, but I hope you can hear the words of my heart in heaven. You truly left this world a better place by being in it. I know you are no longer sick and you are welcoming your brothers and sisters home with open arms….the girls and I say that we will know how to find you in heaven because it will smell like your fireplace. Until I smell the fireplace, I’ll always love you and miss you.
– Kelli Brown Kuchar
Uncle Dale,
Every special memory I have in my life, you’re apart of it. You’ve been there for me through every broken bone, every prom, taught me how to ski, taught me how to drive, let us have sleepovers, always had the fireplace and hot tub ready to go, you were there when I gave birth to Avery and you were there when I got married (we even shared a special dance).

You were one of the strongest most amazing man I had ever met. Your selflessness showed through the service you provided for your community and the love you had for your family and especially your beautiful wife Jenny.

We all love and miss you so much & we can’t want to see you again!

All my love. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Xoxo

Thank you for always being there for your family. I’ll never forget the many ways you helped me, and the support I always had. I remember getting to tell you about Annalynn.

I am grateful for all whom have paved the way.

I’m still as speechless as I have been since that tragic morning when your high school friend, Officer Monfredo rang the doorbell in the wee hours of the morning of November 13, 2019. As your mom, I dismissed his words of compassion as my soul left my body, just as yours did that morning. My denial and disbelief still overwhelm me every minute of every day. I literally can feel my heart break with grief as I think of you constantly. Still finding this so hard to believe, because you were so full of life and your dry sense of humor and cute smirk are unforgettable. You were everyone’s “go to guy.” You were and still are everything to your wife and children, your sister and her family, your loving Memere and to Peter and I. As I told you a million times, I’m very proud of you and I’ll never comprehend this and will die with the grief I feel every moment of every day. There is forever a tear in the corner of my eye constantly triggered with the loss of my sweet son as I think of you constantly. You were the BEST son ever and may God be holding you in the palm of his hand as you are reunited in heaven with your Dad. I love and miss you eternally Lt. Jason James Menard, Forever Proud, Mom (Cheryl A. Kelly)

My uncle, Robert Greiser, was my hero growing up. It didn’t matter what he was doing. If he heard that alarm going off or his stations tones on his radio, he would leave to go help others.

He was a lifetime firefighter with Perseverance Fire Co, of Souderton, PA and sadly suffered a heart attack while coming back from a call on 12/19/19 and passed away early 12/20/19.
– Don Davies
This is in remembrance of my dad Kenneth Robert Greiser I miss him every day and am proud of the service he gave the community. My all the others that went before him and after him RIP. Thank you all for your service!

As a small child I was taught to respect firemen. As an adult who lives in a mountain community affected by California wildfires, I have personally seen the dedication that firefighters bring to the table. I have people in my life that have suffered the loss of a firefighting family member. I have seen firefighters line the overpasses along a freeway to say goodbye to one of their own. I can’t decide if firefighters are heroes or angels, or maybe a little of both. Thank You

“Remembrance is not only about bringing our loved ones to mind.

Remembrance calls us to do things to honor the memory and the impact our loved ones have had upon us.

To remember is to lift up all those things the deceased have taught us so that their lives continue through our own hearts.

To remember is to embrace both the strengths and imperfections of those whom we have lost by continuing to foster our strengths and improve upon our own shortcomings.

And, to remember is to do what is necessary – to keep in mind that what we do will have an impact on others’ lives.”

We Remember Them.
