Happy Birthday Firefighter Tyler Hobson

11/04/2025

Today, this young man is doing something that most of us will never have the chance, or the courage to do. Even in the face of tragedy, his story is ending with an act of incredible love.

As his family prepares to say their goodbyes, his organs will be donated to give others a second chance at life. Somewhere out there, hearts will beat stronger, lungs will breathe deeper, and families will be reunited with hope all because of Quinn.

Please keep his family, friends and loved ones in your prayers as they walk through this unthinkable loss today.
May they find comfort in knowing that even in his final moments, he became a hero, a light in someone else’s darkness.
