Jamel Micheal Sears‚ 33‚ a New York City fire fighter was taken by GOD on November 11‚ 2008. After completing his last FST training test for the academy‚ Jamel collapsed and went into a coma‚ never regaining consciousness.
Appointed to the Fire Department of New York on July 1‚ 2008‚ he was enrolled in the 23-week probationary firefighters training program. Whether it was a fire he was fighting‚ or a training exercise he was completing‚ Jamel passed on while doing a job he was so proud of.
A lifelong Bronx resident‚ Jamel graduated from All Hallows High School and attended Bronx Community College. He was a United States Navy veteran and served aboard the USS Alaska. He also worked at TD Waterhouse as a customer rep and at Keyspan Energy as an operating mechanic before joining the fire department.
Jamel M. Sears leaves behind his wife‚ Sherita‚ and their two kids‚ Mahlek and Jya. His number one job was to take care of his family‚ and that he did. Jamel will always be loved and missed.
God took Jamel and gave him some wings so we could have our very own Guardian Angel.
