Goodbye to a friend...
I went on Sunday to North Catawba Baptist Church to the family receiving for one of the best people I ever met. Curtis Jessen died last Thursday while fighting a fire in Saluda, NC. He fell off of a 50-foot waterfall and died of his injuries. Curtis is one of the few people people from my high school class that I genuinely liked and admired. He died doing an important job and trying to save lives and I can say positively that there's no other way he would have wanted to go out. Curtis and I played Little League Baseball together and went to middle school, high school, and NC State University together. See you on the other side, big guy. May the Lord bless and keep thee; May the Lord find favor with thee and be gracious unto thee; May the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.RIP Curtis Jessen, 1976-2008. SCHS Class of 1994.

My condolences.
Very sorry to hear you lost a friend. I read about this the other day on one of my firefighter websites, but it hits home more when someone knows them.
Sorry to hear about your friend. My thoughts are prayers are with you and his family.
