Our Condolences to the Family of Matteson Firefighter Mark Zielinski
Mark Zielinski, 49, was rendering emergency medical aid to a shopper who needed CPR at the Walmart at 21410 S. Cicero Ave. in Matteson when he died, according to Matteson Fire Chief Chris Schwalbe and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Firefighter Zielinski had served with the Matteson Fire Department for 13 years and the Harvey Fire Department before then. He is survived by his wife and children.
Our thoughts and prayers continue for the Zielinski family and the Matteson Fire Department.
CEO Joe Ahern and Director of Program Services Caitlyn Brennan visited the family on Saturday evening to share our deepest condolences and gratitude and to present the family with the first installment of a $50,000 gift to help with the family’s expenses.
In solidarity,
Joe Ahern, Chief Executive Officer
Ralph Mandell, President
