The Town of Pelham is saddened to share the news that Pelham firefighter Captain Timothy VanDerWeide has died following a courageous battle with occupational cancer.

Timothy VanDerWeide began working with the Pelham Fire Department at Station Two in 1990, was promoted to the rank of Captain in 2007, and continued to serve with the department until the time of his line-of-duty passing.

All flags in Pelham have been lowered to half-mast in remembrance of Captain Vanderweide. The Town extends heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, former colleagues, fellow firefighters, and all those who knew him during this difficult time.
