To my fellow Brothers and Sisters at both Flint and Noonday FD. I
have only just received word of the tragedy that has befallen two
amazingly close communities and feel compelled to share as well as
offer my deep condolences and sorrow to the families of both Kevin
and Austin, the Noonday FD and Flint Gresham FD and all brothers/sisters
including Chief Patrick Baldauf - a brave man whom I have had served
under many times. Our job is a perilous one; each and every time we
hear that klaxon we drop whatever we are doing and race into the unknown.
We do this with impenitence, honour and compassion. On that fateful
day there would have been no difference. To that end our lost brothers
were, and always will be heroes in every sense of the word. You are
all in my prayers during this difficult time; I am truly sorry for
your loss and may God give you the strength, courage and grace to
carry on. David Lee Provo Jr.

Our condolences and respects go out to the families of Austin and
Kevin both in their times of need. A loss of a brother firefighter
is hard, let alone two. They were both, and always will be heroes
in our and God's eyes. They will forever be watching over their community
and their brothers and sisters.

Every time firefighters get together we discuss safety. We look out
for ourselves, our fellow fire fighters and the public. I'm sure the
Noonday Firefighters preach and practice and train for safety. But
let's face it, the only way these fire fighters could have been completely
safe would have been to not have answered the call. As a Volunteer
that is our option. Every time the alarm sounds we choose to respond
or not. Ours is a dangerous profession and the only way to avoid the
danger is to ignore the alarm, to roll over and go back to sleep.
If we don't go to the station, if we don't open the doors and we don't
crank the trucks then we are safe. But where does that leave our friends
and neighbors? We are Professional Volunteers. The men and women on
the Noonday VFD are Professional Volunteers. Our hearts are broken
for the friends and families of Kevin Williams and Austin Cheek and
for lives interrupted too soon. But rest assured no one forced them
to answer the call. They were there because it was in their hearts
to serve their fellow man. Cloddie Henson Cheif Perryville Volunteer

Sally Breen Sunday, 8/5/07, 2:50 PM
I've known Patrick Baldauf since he lived with me as an exchange student
from France. He showed me during that time how connected he was to
his family in France, so I knew he was going to grow up to be a good
man. He later married my daughter, Mindy, and he soon joined the Flint-Gresham
Fire Department. During all those years, he always showed great dediation
to his role in the fire department. Many times a meal would be interrupted
by his pager, and he would be out the door. My heart aches for him
as he grieves the loss of the two firemen-brothers from Noonday. Again
I am reminded...we are all family.

I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of two firefighters. Being
a 911 dispatcher, dispatching for both city and county fire depts,
along with law enforcement, my heart goes out to the families of Firefighter
Cheek and Firefighter Williams. Anyone who knows or is related to
someone in public safety knows the true dedication of these gallant
men and women. These men and women take an oath to serve and protect
and do so with all their heart, mind and soul. These are the same
men and women, someone's son, daughter, husband, wife, brother or
sister who tend to or have tended to loved ones, played with small
ones and made us all laugh at their stories and brought us to tears
with other stories. So many will never hear of the loss of these two
fine men, men who served, men who cared, men who loved, men who laughed
and men who cried because like me they do not live in Texas. I heard
of this loss through a dear friend who at one time served as a firefighter
in Texas. I am quite sure that he too felt the loss even though he
did not know these men personally. To the families of Firefighter
Cheek and Firefighter Williams: I want to thank you from the bottom
of my heart for their dedication to serving others. They will forever
remain heroes to me and so many others. There will never be a time
that when I dispatch a fire call that I won't think about them and
so many others. I thank you for loving them and supporting them.

like your loss to galvanize that thought. I know that I have been
guilty of taking life for granted. We saw Steve and Sharon at Bryan's

My brothers and sisters in Flint, and Nooneday, I share your grief,
and feel the sorrow you have in your hearts for you have encountered
something that we all hope never to have to endure. We go about our
lives with two jobs, two loves, and two desires. We work to feed our
families, and we work to provide our communities safety when in time
of need. We love our spouses and children, and we love the communities
that we have pledged to protect, never asking anything in return.
We desire the best for our families, and we desire that in times of
need, that our community gives us the support we need to make it through
such a devastating situation. Our hearts, our sorrow, and our love
of brotherhood will see us through. We send our condolences to you,
praying that God Almighty will ease the grief you feel.

all of the firefighters and their families are feeling now. We know
the dedication, the love, and the brotherhood that exists amongst
these volunteers ....it's indescribable in words alone. We offer our
condolences and prayers to the families of Austin and Kevin, and we
send our heartfelt thanks to all of the other firefighters who daily
give totally of themselves to protect all of us. There is simply no
way to adequately tell all of them how deeply we appreciate all that
they do. God Bless them and keep them safe. Sharon and Stan Sobotka

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I just read about the tradgedy that occured

non-duty loss of one of our firefighters, so I can relate to the pain.
Know that you will be in my prayers and on my heart. If you need some
help with the arrangements, there is an honor guard out of Cy-Fair
which is on the Northwest side of Houston that helped us tremendously.
Again I am sorry for your loss, please e-mail me of any updates, I
would like to attend the funeral. Also, I helped the family in our
department with the Fire Department side of the service, so if you
need any help, please feel free to contact me. Rocky Hicks Asst. Chief

- hope everyone is OK. Looks like the department is doing great -
some nice new equipment! Woodinville Fire & Life Safety is all
paid - bummer - I am on their CERT team, but we only get called up
in broadscale emergencies/disasters like earthquakes, so I miss the

You guys should have a big party to raise money for the fire department
and go out on the fire truck announcing the party on your loud speaker
throughout the neighborhoods of Flint and advertise at our local school(s)
and churches in Flint. Most people who have family who know someone
who volunteers at the department would be willing to donate items
for the party. You could have a silent auction. This would be a great
spring activity for our community.

Thanks for taking care of us when we had a house full of "smoke"
last week. It is so nice to have such a reliable fire department right
down the street from us, it makes us feel so safe. Thanks for all
your hard work and for being such great representatives of Flint,
Texas. God bless you!

Hello there Kevin and Company, Just signing in to let you know that
you are doing an awesome job keeping the world informed as to the
activities at FGFD. Without a doubt my time spent down there with
you all was immeasureable in terms of what I had learnt from everyone.
If I was to have one wish;it would be to give back to someone just
1/10 of what I had learned from the program to someone - I came away
with that much more!! Keep up the excellent work, and we will be in
touch. dlp

Saw the website and thought i would just drop you guys a line. I believe
that our departments have ran a few grass fires together and each
time we meet, you guys are very professional at what yall do. Flint
- Gresham FD is a wonderful example of how a fire dept should be ran.
Keep up the good work. Thanks, Eric Rozell NCCVFD
