Rest in peace, firefighter Zwick. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ryan’s friends and family and our Cincinnati Fire Fighters Union Local 48 brothers and sisters during this difficult time.
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Cincinnati Fire Fighter Ryan Zwick, who courageously battled occupational cancer.
Ryan dedicated his life to serving the citizens of Cincinnati and standing alongside his Brothers and Sisters in the fire service. His strength, professionalism, and commitment to others will not be forgotten.
Today, we ask our members, retirees, families, and community to keep Ryan's loved ones, friends, and fellow fire fighters in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
Occupational cancer remains one of the greatest threats facing the fire service. Ryan's passing is a heartbreaking reminder of the sacrifices fire fighters continue to make long after the fire is out.
Rest easy, Brother Zwick. We have the watch from here.
Funeral and memorial service information will be shared as it becomes available.
