Memorial to a Fire Fighter Jeff Wagner

Jeff volunteered with the Chester Nova Scotia fire dept. He was 19 when he was killed in a motor vehicle collision Oct 26,2006. This was the video his girl Emma made and presented at his memorial arranged by the Fire Dept. Jeff was a sensitive and caring son. He was always a hard worker and good friend. Jeff joined the fire dept and eagerly took all courses offered. Every time the pager went off he came flying by us almost tripping down the stairs. That's where he met Emma and her mom Terri, both fire fighters. He's wearing the black helmet in the training photos. Antigonish Fire fighters were on the scene of his accident. These brave men and women give their time taking courses, training for fires and accidents and we are proud our son belonged to this fine brotherhood. Emma and Jeff also joined the Search and Rescue. They had a lot of common interests and I know he was very happy.
Jeff's desire was to work with heavy equipment which led him to the Dexter Institute at Nova Scotia Community College in Dartmouth. A very long drive each way but he was up early and on his way every day. Jeff was an animal lover. Our family had a cat, dog, and budgies, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs too. He even tried to persuade us to get a goat. He was traveling many kilometers to adopt a German Shepard. Our son Jeff was 19 when he was killed in a motor vehicle collision that fateful day, Oct 26,2006.
Jeff was an organ donor and we hope that his cornea has made a difference to the young man who received it.
He was a lovely boy who grew to be a wonderful man.

Rest in peace my brother. Ever time any firefighter in the world answers a call. You now respond from a bigger station. To guide and protect us on ours. Our hearts and prayers go out to your family.
