Tonight, the Winner Volunteer Fire Department had the honor of celebrating Brad Whitley’s retirement after 36 years of dedicated service. For more than three decades, Brad answered the call whenever our community needed him, giving countless hours to protect and serve the citizens of Winner and the surrounding area.
We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Brad’s family. The commitment of a firefighter is a sacrifice shared by those at home, and over the years they have missed family dinners, holidays, special events, and countless moments while Brad was serving others. Their support made his service possible, and we are grateful for that sacrifice.
Brad’s dedication, leadership, friendship, and sense of humor have left a lasting impact on our department. While we wish him nothing but the best in retirement, there is no doubt he will be greatly missed around the fire hall. Thank you, Brad, for 36 years of selfless service. Congratulations on a well-earned retirement!
