BVFD is saddened to hear of the passing of Terry Yount. He is a legend in the EMS world.

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our member Terry Yount. Terry started with us as a paid Paramedic and when he retired quickly submitted an application to be a volunteer Ambulance Driver. Terry was awarded the 2025 Ambulance Driver of the Year award at our recent banquet. His unforgettable voice, incredible laugh and endless Civil War stories will be sorely missed. Thank you for your service to the Richmond community. Our hearts are with his twin brother and family!
