With heavy hearts, we share the sad news of the passing of one of our own, Mike Schepers, a devoted firefighter who served our community with unwavering courage and compassion for 29 years. Mike, who served as a Driver/Engineer, most recently stationed at Station 9, passed away last night, leaving behind a legacy of selfless service and commitment.
Throughout his distinguished career, Mike exemplified the highest standards of professionalism and bravery. He approached every call with determination and a deep sense of duty, earning the respect and admiration of his colleagues and the community he served.
Beyond his role as a firefighter, Mike was known for his kind heart and strong sense of family. He was a loving husband, a dedicated father, and a cherished member of our firefighting family. His impact on our department and our lives is immeasurable.
During this difficult time, we ask that you keep Mike’s family, including his wife, children, and extended firefighting family, in your thoughts and prayers. Their loss is felt deeply by all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside Mike.
Services to honor Mike Schepers will be announced at a later date, providing an opportunity for all who knew and respected him to pay their respects and celebrate his life.
