Today, we had the privilege of standing alongside Battalion Chief Skip Bergbauer’s family to celebrate a very special milestone, the graduation of his daughter, Nika.
Although Skip has been gone for five years, his impact, leadership, and friendship continue to be deeply felt throughout the fire service community. In his absence, members of Red, White & Blue Fire District and Local 4325 leadership, along with Chief Ryan Roberts of Front Range Fire Rescue and representatives from Summit Fire & EMS, were honored to stand in support of Nika and her family on this important day.
Nika, your dad would be incredibly proud of the person you’ve become and all that you’ve accomplished. Congratulations on your graduation and best wishes for the journey ahead as you attend Colorado State University to study zoology.
