I couldn't believe the news when I heard it. A friend of mine from the fire department, someone I'd known for almost 9 years, took his own life a few days ago. Emergency workers like us get the sad duty of responding to calls like this - the first responders and EMS workers all knew him personally. We all knew he was going through a very difficult time in his life, and a number of friends from the department had reached out to him. How very sad that he still was willing to take such final measures to end his pain.
Our department won't be the same without him. We'll miss you, "Gump."
Please pray for his family as they deal with the loss of a husband & father.
