We at AFC extend our condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Firefighter Josh Jennings and the Evington Volunteer Fire Department during their time of grief and loss!

It is with a heavy heart that we extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Josh Jennings.

Josh was a young, dedicated servant who was always willing to give his time and help others. He was also a valued member of the Evington Volunteer Fire Department, where he selflessly served his community and made a difference in the lives of others.

We are grateful for Josh’s dedication, his willingness to serve, and the time he gave to protect and help his neighbors. His commitment to the Evington community and the fire department will not be forgotten.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jennings family, his friends, fellow firefighters, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing Josh. May God provide comfort and strength during this difficult time.

Thank you, Josh, for your service, your dedication, and your willingness to serve others. You will be deeply missed and never forgotten. 🙏🚒
