It is with profound sadness that A.F. Dobler Hose & Ladder Co. announces the passing of our Junior Firefighter, Bryce Kaufmann

Bryce was a junior at Girard High School and a deeply valued member of our fire department family. He will forever be remembered for his ability to make everyone smile. His entire face—and truly his whole being—would light up whenever he heard the words, “GEAR UP!”

Bryce took great pride in being a Junior Firefighter, especially when it came to his bunker gear. Even with a broken zipper, he wanted absolutely nothing to do with any suggestion that it should be replaced. That gear was his, and he was not ready to part with it.

Along with his profound passion for learning firefighting skills, Bryce will also be remembered for his unforgettable love of root b**r, peanuts, and milkshakes. These special little things were simply part of what made Bryce uniquely Bryce.

Bryce’s enthusiasm, humor, dedication, and bright spirit touched everyone around him. His time with us was far too short, but the impact he made will remain within our department forever.

Our deepest condolences go out to Bryce’s family, friends, classmates, fellow Junior Firefighters, and everyone whose life was made brighter by knowing him.

Rest easy, Bryce. You will always be part of the A.F. Dobler Hose & Ladder Co. family, and whenever we hear “GEAR UP,” we will think of you.

Rest Easy we will take it from here
