Traffic Accident At Buffalo Road And 42 East

My thoughts are with these 2 families. So sorry to hear about this. I haven't watched or heard the news, are there any updates?

 

One of the guys is a guy that I grew up with. He's the one that things aren't looking good for. I am SO sad...this is a guy that I've known my entire life and grew up with.

AJ was a fellow "C" shift firefighter, we ran several calls together even though we are on different departments, he always had a good time and absolutly loved his job, AJ was also an instructor on our last live burn at cleveland, he was just a joy to have around, and always kept something going, please say a prayer for his family at home and at RFD he was on ladder 11 and we go back to work tomorrow and i know his crew-mates will no doubt have a heavy heart. REST IN PEACE BROTHER AND TILL WE MEET AGAIN,,, J.D

Isaiah 43:2,3 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
3 For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
Cush and Seba in exchange for you.

very well said JD

 

Please continue to keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

 

Awesome slide show!! Thank you for sharing.

 

Just wanted to say thanks for all the thoughts and prayers! It was greatly appreciated by us all!

 

We rode by the funeral home yesterday and saw all the fire trucks and cars. My daughter and I pulled off to the side of the road and watched them fold a big flag up and we wept for the family and friends.

Our thoughts are with all,
Sherry

 

Ok bumping for a purpose.

 

I noticed balloons at the accident site one day this week - it may even have been today. It's a nice looking memorial someone has made for him.

 

yes, it was his birthday on Tuesday. I believe his wife and cousin did this.

 

That just puts a lump in my throat. What a shame that this wonderful person was taken from his family WAY before his time.

God Bless the family and friends who are left behind.
