On Monday, August 9th, **CFD FF/PM Chris Wheatley of Truck Co. 2** passed away after sustaining injuries when he fell from a ladder near the roof while responding to a fire at 615 W. Randolph. His funeral took place on August 13, 2010, at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Alsip, following a Mass at St. John Fisher Church on South Washtawaw.
A touching tribute to his service and sacrifice was displayed through several commemorative markings on Truck 2, one of which is shown here.
The casket was carried by Engine 5 to the church, where members of the Chicago Fire Department and local emergency services honored him with a solemn procession. As the casket was brought out of the funeral home, Chicago Fire Department commissioners and chiefs stood in salute, showing their deep respect for a fallen brother.
Firefighters from across suburban Chicago gathered to pay their respects, including members of the AFFI Honor Guard, who stood alongside city personnel as the casket made its way to the church.
