On April 25, 2021, we lost our brother, Andy Valenta.
Five years have passed, and while the ache of missing him has not faded, his legacy of service remains a driving force.

Through the Andy Valenta Melanoma Foundation , Andy’s name now stands as a shield for countless firefighters, providing skin cancer screenings that will protect generations to come; preserving the future of countless families through the life-saving power of early detection.
Andy, we continue to honor you the only way we know how: by staying ALL IN, ALL THE TIME.
