This from Larry Shapiro:
I was one of over hundred people that said goodbye to a friend today, Deerfield-Bannckburn Firefighter Brad Hytoff. Known to many in the fire service, Brad was also a lifelong fire buff and fire service aficionado. Family, friends, police officers, and firefighters gathered to pay their respects to an 18-year veteran of the Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Protection District.

Brad unfortunately lost a long battle with depression this past Friday. Despite numerous and prolonged help from coworkers and loved ones, Brad ultimately succumbed to his disease and ended his own life. He was a great guy and will be missed

Very sad and such a young man. I didn’t know him but was he ill or was his passing sudden?
