The Providence Volunteer Fire Company is saddened by the sudden loss of Active member Jeffrey Meyer. Jeff died suddenly on Wednesday June 23 at the young age of 35. Jeff was a member of Providence for almost 3 years. 

Jeff had a deep love for the fire service and a great devotion to Providence. Though he was not an 'active firefighter', he was very involved with the operations of the Company. He tackled even the most mundane of tasks with an enthusiasm that was unmatched. Whether he was cleaning the bathrooms, sweeping a floor, returning equipment to service or dressing up for a child's birthday party, his attitude was exemplary.

Treasurer Geoffrey Donahue had these words to say of Jeff: "Jeff's courage, dedication and positive attitude should serve as an inspiration to each and every one of us."

For those that did not know, Jeff was a strong supporter of the Lance Armstrong Foundation whose focus is to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.  The motto of the Lance Armstrong Foundation is LIVE STRONG, a quality no better exemplified in anyone more so than it was in Jeff! To Jeff, it was never about what Providence could do for him, but really what he could do for us.  He truly exemplified the spirit of volunteerism, and always gave his all in whatever he did! May your life serve as an inspiration to us all! "
