SCHUMACHER.
AS 12 NEWS BRITTANY SHANNON

SO MUCH MORE TO THE COMMUNITIES

THEY SAID GOODBYE TO A FRIEND

HIM, A
16 YEAR VETERAN OF THE KENOSHA
FIRE DEPARTMENT, HUSBAND, AND

HE WAS A FIXTURE IN THE
KENOSHA COMMUNITY, TOUCHING
THOUSANDS OF YOUNG LIVES AS A

HE WAS A VERY COURAGEOUS MAN.
HE KEPT THE TEAM GOING.

I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.
I LOVE YOU, BROTHER.
I AM TOYA WASHINGTON.
