On Friday, Sept. 11, 2026, the City of Tomball held a morning ceremony and evening tribute at Tomball Depot Plaza to commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. City officials and staff, Tomball first responders, local veterans, and community members gathered for a solemn remembrance honoring the lives lost, the first responders who answered the call, and all those forever impacted by the events of that day.

The morning ceremony included the Tomball Police and Fire Honor Guard's Presentation of Colors, an invocation led by Chaplain Greg Sipe, and remarks from Mayor Lori Klein Quinn, Tomball Fire Cheif Joe Sykora, and Tomball Police Captain Brandon Patin. The evening tribute provided an opportunity for quiet reflection and remembrance, with special recognition of first responders, military personnel, and all who answered the call to serve in the years that followed. To conclude the evening tribute, two high-powered spotlights were illuminated to symbolically represent the Twin Towers. The lights remained illuminated until midnight, with Tomball Police personnel standing guard throughout the evening.

Thank you to all who joined us, may we always remember those we lost, honor those who served, and never forget.

Did you know the City of Tomball is governed by a City Council made up of five Councilmembers and the Mayor, all elected to represent the citizens of Tomball?

As the governing body of the City, the Mayor and City Council establish goals and objectives for Tomball and make policy decisions that impact the daily lives of residents. The Council identifies the needs of the community, considers available resources, and provides direction to the City Manager and City staff to help meet those needs and provide efficient, professional service.

The City Council also establishes the City’s annual program of services by adopting the annual budget and exercises regulatory authority by adopting rules, regulations, ordinances, and formal policies.

The Tomball City Council meets on the first and third Monday of each month. Meetings are open to the public, and residents are welcome to attend in person or participate online via Zoom. For those who cannot attend, meetings are recorded and available to review afterward at tomball-tx.municodemeetings.com/.

At this week's City Council meeting, the City of Tomball proudly honored the legacy of Captain Jesse Castillo by proclaiming the week of September 7 through 11, 2026 as "The Castillo Way" Week, in recognition of his distinguished service, fight, and lasting inspiration to all those who hear of him and his story.

The proclamation states:
"This week is to honor the life and impact of Captain Jesse Castillo, a firefighter who not only fought Stage IV lung cancer for over two years through chemotherapy, clinical trials, and continuing on the job, but whose mentality in life inspired all those around him. The subsequent dedication is also to honor Taylor Castillo, his wife, whose strength, commitment, and hard work behind the scenes is too great to ever fully appreciate. His two children, Titan and Athena, whose laughter, warmth, and joy, have been a source of great encouragement. As well as the multitude of family and friends who have been present throughout his journey."

Captain Jesse Castillo, devoted husband, father, and firefighter of the Porter Fire Department, was recognized for his exemplary leadership, unwavering dedication, and distinguished service to his community for fourteen years. After his diagnosis with cancer, he grew his passion into educating the new generation to carry on "The Castillo Way." He would teach these firefighters, not only in the mechanics of the job, but to bravely face each day as it came, to do what is right and do it right in all aspects of their lives. His motto was more than just an approach to firefighting, but a way of living that encourages resilience, accountability, and dedication. He leaves behind a legacy of integrity, perseverance, and love.

"The Castillo Way" is not only about how one did their job or the consistency with which they persevered, but for the love so many felt, and for the impact Jesse Castillo will forever have on their lives. So he may know how much he matters to his loved ones, how the way he has loved will forever be a source of inspiration to those who hear his story.

Thank you to the H-E-B Helping Heroes team for honoring the Tomball Police Department, Tomball Fire Rescue, and Northwest EMS this week with your annual Helping Heroes breakfast.

This event is held each year in remembrance of Sept. 11 and brings together local first responders for a simple but heartfelt way to show appreciation to the men and women who serve and protect our community every day. We're continually grateful for the community's support of our local heroes, and we're incredibly proud of the first responders who keep Tomball safe, strong, and connected.

On Friday, Sept. 4, 2026, Tomball Fire Rescue Driver Operator Chris Stuart was recognized as the City of Tomball's Public Safety Officer of the Month at the Greater Tomball Area Chamber of Commerce's First Friday Luncheon.

Driver Operator Stuart was honored for his exceptional situational awareness and interdepartmental teamwork during a motor vehicle crash on Business 249 earlier this year. While responding to the scene, Stuart observed four individuals suspected of vandalizing Walmart enter a pickup truck after fleeing across Business 249 and entering a nearby storage yard. Stuart immediately provided Tomball Police officers with the vehicle's make, model, and license plate number, enabling officers to apprehend the suspects within minutes. His attention to detail and quick action demonstrated the importance of strong coordination between Tomball's public safety departments.

Due to his current deployment with Tomball Fire Rescue's Wildfire Team in West Texas, Stuart was unable to attend his recognition ceremony on Friday as he continues to serve communities across the state while proudly representing the City of Tomball.

Driver Operator Stuart consistently demonstrates professionalism, integrity, and a deep commitment to public safety. Please join us in congratulating him on this well-deserved recognition and thanking him for his dedication to serving Tomball and communities across Texas.
