Steve was a building block for Search and Rescue. We are thankful for the countless hours he dedicated to our community and the friendship we shared. He will be greatly missed.

Please keep his family and his friends at Bergman Fire Dept in your prayers.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of former long time Bergman Fire Chief Steven Brannon. He shaped the Bergman Fire Dept for years. During his tenure at the fire dept he RARELY missed a call. He saved the fire dept thousands and thousands of dollars doing the handyman work he was well known for. He was a special person and a friend, not only to me but to the community. We at the Bergman Fire Dept has a huge hole to fill which it will be very difficult and quite frankly impossible. To everybody that knew Steve he was a giver and helper to anyone rather he knew you or not. Please say a special prayer for Steve’s wife Terry and family as they process and grieve. Also please say a prayer for the members of our Fire Dept as we have lost a mentor and friend.
-Chief Mike Tramell
