In 2019, Christopher firefighter Kody Vanfossan died while fighting a structure fire. Three years later, the Christopher community still comes together to remember his life. Roughly a dozen first responder vehicles gathered to memorialize Kody on Thursday. He was 24 years old when he died. The parade started at Bill Dennison Park and ended at his final resting place. Kody's father uses the day to let people know what kind of person his son was. "He was your typical 24-year-old kid. He loved life, loved helping people. He didn't know a stranger. He loved being a fireman," said Brent Vanfossan. "He was following in my footsteps and he just loved helping people. He loved training as much as he loved fighting fires."
