It is with heavy hearts that we learned of the passing of former Van Alstyne Fire Chief Robert Lewis.
Chief Lewis dedicated many years of his life to serving the Van Alstyne community. His leadership, commitment, and passion for helping others left a lasting mark on both the fire department and the city he proudly served. He was well known and respected throughout the community, and his contributions helped shape the department for generations to come.
We are proud to honor the legacy Chief Lewis left behind and the contributions he made to this department and community. His years of service, leadership, and dedication to Van Alstyne remain an important part of our department's history and a lasting example of selfless service.
Rest easy, Chief. Thank you for your service, your leadership, and your commitment to this community. Your legacy will not be forgotten.

Today serves as a solemn reminder of the sacrifice made by those who never came home and the families who continue to carry that loss each day. We stand in gratitude for their courage, their selflessness, and the freedoms secured through their sacrifice.
