At every Convention, we honor our brave brothers and sisters who have died in the line of duty over the last two years.

From our Opening Ceremony through the General President gaveling us out, the Convention's Memorial Wall reminds us of the IAFF's promise to and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Our organization would like to extend our deepest condolences to the Joliet Fire Department and the family and friends of Captain Hargis. Our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

Good morning,
We are very sorry to tell you that the Joliet Community has lost a respected firefighter, and a family has lost a beloved Husband, Son, and Brother.

The sudden passing of Captain Hargis, a 22-year veteran of the Joliet Fire Department, on June 29 has left a profound void in our community—his additional years in the fire service and as a paramedic added to the impact of our loss.

Kevin has had many roles at the Joliet Fire Department. He was a member of the Hazardous Materials Team and the team Coordinator/leader; a safety committee member; a CPR Instructor, coordinator, and trainer; and the Captain of Fire Station No. 7.

Captain Hargis holds almost every state of Illinois certification for firefighters, including many advanced levels. Kevin was also a Paramedic Instructor and Board-Certified Emergency Nurse. His training and formal education demonstrate his passion for helping others.

The Joliet Fire Department will deeply miss Captain Hargis's leadership, knowledge, and passion for helping others in the community and the fire department. To the Hargis Family and Friends, you will all remain in our thoughts through these difficult times.

To the community- please keep his family and friends in your thoughts.

With love and respect from the Joliet Fire Department.
