It is with a very heavy and broken heart that I must send this post notifying you of the tragic loss of COL (RET) Dave Gagnon on Friday July 3rd.
Dave was in service to his community on a fire call when he was struck and killed by a falling tree.
Those of us who served with Dave will remember him as a devoted leader, friend and brother.
The shock of his loss is intense. He will be greatly missed.
Please keep Nora, Andrea, Dan and the entire Gagnon family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this very difficult time. May God comfort and strengthen each one as He walks with them in their time of loss.
I will update once arrangements have been finalized.
First New York, Dave--Ever Onward!!
