We are saddened to share the passing of Danny Cleek, a founding member of Sullivan West Volunteer Fire Department and a steady presence in our organization from the very beginning. Danny served in many roles throughout his time here and was serving as Chairman of the Board at the time of his passing.

The Cleek family name has been tied to Sullivan West for decades. His father served as chief, his brothers served in various capacities, and his son continues to serve with the department today. Their long-standing commitment has been a defining part of our history, and Danny’s contributions stand as a significant part of that legacy.

Danny passed away unexpectedly this week, leaving a void that will be felt for a long time. His influence is woven into the foundation of this department — visible in the work he helped build, the direction he helped shape, and the mark he left on all of us. He was well liked by everyone who knew him, and his memory will carry on far beyond his lifetime.

Danny will be greatly missed.

Rest easy, Danny. Thank you for everything you gave to Sullivan West.

Hot summer days, heavy gear, and long responses make hydration a top priority. Thanks to and for the generous donation of DripDrop electrolyte drink mix as part of the 2026 DripDrop Hydration Giveback Campaign. This will help us fight dehydration and keep our crews at their best.
