Honoring Garrett Coyne

A Brother, a Friend, a Hero

We stand together in memory of our beloved Secretary and Firefighter/AEMT, Garrett Coyne, who left us tragically in an off-duty motorcycle crash on October 5, 2023. Garrett was not just a colleague; he was a cherished member of our firefighting family, always brightening the firehouse with his laughter and camaraderie.

A Light in the Station: Garrett's presence was a beacon of joy at the firehouse. His infectious laughter and good-natured jokes created an atmosphere of camaraderie that will forever echo through our halls. As a dedicated firefighter, Garrett was committed to his duties, and was on the path to furthering his career by pursuing Paramedic school.

Remembering Garrett: On that fateful day, we lost more than a colleague; we lost a brother, a friend, and a hero. Garrett's memory lives on in the shared moments of laughter, the challenges faced together, and the unwavering commitment he showed to our community.

Supporting Garrett's Family: Garrett leaves behind his wife and two young children, one of whom is just 10 months old. As we mourn the loss of our dear friend, we also rally together to offer support to Garrett's grieving family. Your donation will directly contribute to easing the financial burdens they now face, ensuring they feel the warmth of our collective embrace.
