It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Retired Captain Norman Corley, an esteemed and dedicated member of our team from 27th of June 1990 through 31st of December 2017 when he retired at 27 years 6 months. Captain Corley’s unwavering commitment and service have left an undeniable mark on our agency and the community.
Throughout his career, which began in 1980 with his completion of EMT school while he was a senior at Northwest High School. He obtained his paramedic schooling through East Central College and his bachelor's in education from Fontbonne. Our Community, North Jefferson County Ambulance District, St. Louis Community College and area emergency agencies were fortunate to have close to 40 years of excellence from Captain Corley as an EMT, Paramedic and an educator. Captain Corley exemplified the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and dedication to not only our agency, but the Greater St. Louis region through thousands of educational offerings and students he taught. His contributions have been invaluable, and his absence will be profoundly felt by all who had the privilege of learning from him, knowing and working with him.
In this time of mourning, we encourage everyone to support one another and hold their loved ones close, “as you never know what tomorrow may bring”. Captain Corley’s legacy will continue to inspire and guide us as we move forward.
We extend our deepest condolences to Captain Corley’s family, friends, and Emergency Professionals family.
Further details about memorial services will be shared as they become available.
