Rest easy Ryan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and B.U.G. Fire Department.
It is with profound sadness and broken hearts we announce the passing of our brother, Firefighter Ryan Chaudoir. Ryan was courageous and faithful in his battle with cancer. Our minds are heavy and our tears cover our face. Ryan was a dedicated Firefighter, loving husband, dad, brother, son and the most genuine friend anyone could ever hope for. His contagious smile, his kind laughter and helping hand is forever engrained in us. Ryan’s passion in his faith and the prayerful example he set for everyone made us better every day we knew him. We will never forget you Ryan. We love you. I love you. Please watch over us. May peace, love and all that is good surround Ryan’s family and all who knew him.
We will share more details as they are available.
Fire Chief Curt Vandertie
