Wenatchee Valley Fire Division Chief Ron Roy passed away in July at 68, after battling leukemia. Roy received full fire service honors at Wenatchee Convention Center on Saturday.
Fire apparatus from around the state formed a procession down Wenatchee Avenue to the Convention Center passing underneath a U.S. flag. The noon time ceremony concluded with the chiming of a fire bell symbolizing the loss of a firefighter and RiverCom's end of watch radio message.
In between, Roy's career was celebrated by those who knew him best from the many areas of the fire service he impacted.
