TEXAS:
We regret to pass on that Seguin (near San Antonio) Texas, Firefighter/Paramedic Roger Dean (age 31) died yesterday after a battle with Covid-19 in a Houston hospital. Dean has been with the Seguin Fire Department since 2018 and was promoted to Field Training Officer in 2019. He leaves behind his wife, Stephanie, and his 8-month-old daughter, Amelia. Funeral arrangements are pending.
WYOMING:
Furthermore, we regret to pass on that Assistant Chief Charles “Chuck” Scottini (Laramie County, Wyoming) passed away peacefully with his family by his side this morning, April 24, 2021 after a long 6-month battle with Covid-19. Chuck contracted Covid while on a wildland fire assignment in Colorado and was quickly moved to University of Utah hospital where he stayed for 6 long months trying to recover.
Chief Scottini has been a Firefighter with Laramie County Fire District 2 since 1998, where he currently held the position of Assistant Fire Chief. Chuck was their Mr. fix it, their mentor, and was a wealth of knowledge to the fire service. He will be dearly missed by all. They will release information on a memorial service at a later time.
Our condolences to all those affected. Rest In Peace.
