Very sad. A real hero.
I wonder how many of our politicians that rushed to the politically network rich funeral of another county's executive will have the integrity to honor a life lost in a selfless act?
RIP, hero died trying to help others.
RIP. A true hero
That "hero" word has lately been thrown around very freely a lot, but in this case it's the real deal.
This man is a true hero, losing his life assisting others with no cameras around - no "glory" in his act. He was going over and above his duty in service to others.
I haven't heard as yet what the situation is on any family (wife; kids) that he may have had, but this situation screams out for a "Go Fund Me" page.
I've never donated to that before. I certainly will on this one.
This is really sad. Praying for his family
Well said and written
4:56. Perfectly said.
This is so sad. A REAL modern day hero. I hope his funeral profession is at least as long as the one in Salisbury last week.
Agree
So sorry we have lost this man.
So sorry for their loss a real hero, sorry for his family.
