Our sincere condolences go out to our brothers and sisters in Local 42 as they deal with the loss of a respected leader and friend.

It is with profound sadness that I write to inform you of the line of duty death of Kansas City Fire Department Fire Captain and IAFF Local 42 Member Bobby Rocha.

Bobby fell ill and was diagnosed with COVID-19. Brother Rocha fought valiantly against this virus and his fight was a testament to his strength as a person.

Brother Rocha was a friend and inspiration to many and his passing comes with great grief. At this time the Local will be providing the family with support in their time of need. We will post additional information and service arrangements as soon as they become available.

In this difficult time please do not hesitate to contact any of your Brothers and Sisters to talk or seek assistance from 42 Cares while dealing with this tragic event.

Please continue to keep our KCFD and Local 42 family and the family and friends of Brother Rocha in your thoughts and prayers.

19 years ago on this day, those you see pictured gave their lives while protecting their community and, in service to this nation. Each year since our members and other firefighters across the country have visited schools and been invited to speak to community groups about the events of that day and their significance.

Since COVID-19 has prevented many of these events from taking place, it is our hope that parents and family members who have children attending school virtually will take this opportunity to tell them why the numbers ‘9/11’ are important; where they were that morning in 2001; and why the sacrifice of those in this picture should always be remembered.

NEVER FORGET
