VIDEO: Firefighters from across the Valley flocked to a football game in Peoria on Thursday night to support the son of Phoenix Firefighter Adam Cauthron who died recently from a sudden health emergency. It was a football game to remember at Liberty High School.
Friends and family of Adam turned out in droves to rally around his family, and particularly his son, Broden. "Just a really good guy, so we figured we'd honor him today, and we'd all show up for Broden's football game," Phoenix Fire Capt. Jesse Nettles said.
Last weekend, the Phoenix Fire Department announced Adam's death. He was an 18-year veteran of the department who died from an off-duty health emergency.
"He loved his job, he loved his career, he's an outdoorsman," Dave Cauthron, Adam's father, said.
Adam leaves behind Broden, his daughter Brynlie and his wife, Nicole.
