Farewell to Firefighter Don Beckett


Yesterday, Monday October 24th, 2011, the City of Kent Fire Department laid to rest Firefighter Don Beckett. Don had over twenty years on the fire department and was well known for his compassion and empathy during medical runs. He fought for nearly a year with cancer, but unfortunately lost that battle this past Wednesday. He was surrounded by friends and family right to the end. He will be missed. Although gone, he will be remembered in our thoughts and our hearts forever. His fight has been deemed in the line of duty by the State of Ohio... as it should be. Thank you to everyone that showed so much love and support to Don and his family during the last year.
