On May 31st of this year we lost our dear friend and brother Brandon Yaeger. Yaeger, as we called him was a 12.5 yr veteran of Bethany FD. He was the mold of a true public servant and a givers heart.
As I have tried to put it into words how much Yaeger meant to us all, I have realized it’s not possible. This young man gave his heart and sole to this small community fire department. Bethany will NEVER be the same without him. There is nothing this man wouldn't do for anyone. I can promise you this, if every FD in The United States had 10 Brandon Yaeger's, we wouldn't be in a manpower crisis, that is a true legacy.
Yaeger - we miss you brother, I keep waiting for you to call or be on the radio. Thank you for being YOU, we are ALL better men and women for knowing you. We Love You My Friend and your Legacy will continue to live on at Bethany!
Thank You for your dedication, commitment and always putting others before yourself!
We honor our brother, co-worker and most importantly our friend. We promise to stand alongside your family, as they are a part of our family. We will love and support them in all things, bearing their burdens! No one will ever be able to replace the shoes of Brandon Yaeger, however we will continue to rise above this unimaginable loss, in HONOR of Yaeger and ride those fire trucks, knowing he is riding with us!!
We look upon the family of the fallen with compassion & offer our service as a tribute…
That their sacrifice will not be in vain…
