Terrell Jackson. He passed away after experiencing a medical emergency on Monday, Jan. 9. He was 38 years old.
Lt. Jackson began his career with ECFR as a volunteer firefighter in 2007, beginning with the Ferry Pass Volunteer Fire Department. On July 18, 2013, Lt. Jackson became a full-time firefighter. As a firefighter, he demonstrated a dedicated work ethic and compassion. His leadership and capabilities led to his promotion to lieutenant on Oct. 2, 2021.
As a lieutenant, Terrell Jackson continued to show his dedication and passion for the job as he mentored firefighters and worked as the company officer on several different assignments. He has been described as a "firefighter's firefighter" and has always led through his actions.
“Lt. Jackson has been a long-time member of the ECFR family and not only served his community but also served his country," said Deputy Fire Chief Paul Williams. "I pray that his family, friends, and brother and sister firefighters can find peace in knowing his legacy and memory will live on.”
Terrell Jackson will be greatly missed, and his passing will leave a huge gap that is impossible to fill. ECFR asks to please keep his family and fire family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
“Lt. Jackson was the truest definition of a public servant as a Navy veteran and a firefighter," said Fire Chief Jason Catrambone. "His life was one of a servant to all around him. He will be remembered and missed."
