Dear Family and Friends,

It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Brother Rodd Fernandes who passed away last night in the hospital.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of one of our retired Firefighters and former Executive Board members. His years of dedicated service, courage, and commitment to protecting our community will not be forgotten.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of serving alongside him. May they find comfort in the memories they shared and in knowing his legacy of service will continue to inspire others.

Rest easy, brother Rodd Fernandes. Your watch is complete, but your impact on our community, fire department and Union will remain with us always.

Always remembered and never forgotten,

Pahrump Valley Firefighters Association
