He was such a good man, always happy, always a smile on his face. Absolutely tragic for his family and the first responder community. Heartbreaking.

Very sad for his family, and crew. Being amongst firemen, you really couldn't ask for quicker or better care. Sometimes there is just no chance, and it is your time

Is that why all the overpasses had fire trucks and police cars this morning?
5 freeway from Mission Vejio up to Santa Ana. About 11am. And a life flight chopper in the air.

He was a great guy, great firefighter and always smiling and cracking jokes in the station. He was set to retire in the next month or two. Any time I worked with him, was a good shift. Never heard a bad thing about him. R.I.P. FAE Kevin “skindawg” Skinner

He was such a pleasure to work with and his attitude was second to none, on top of being one hell of a great fireman!

Funeral service today?
We saw engines over about 4 bridges, and the procession headed southbound I-5. Trucks and Black and Whites.
