Story

On January 11, 2025 the Higgins family's lives change forever with the tragic and sudden loss of Chris. Chris was a kind, caring, compassionate and selfless force in this world. Their family is now faced with the painful process of putting the pieces back together, without their loving husband and Father. This tremendous loss will have a major impact on almost every aspect of their day to day lives. This page is just one of the ways we will help to support their family. So many have asked about ways they can support this beautiful family, so with Lisa's permission we have created this page to help organize the outpouring of requests and support offers. Lisa will not directly monitor this page but we will be helping her to manage everything. Anyone wishing to donate directly to the Family Fund started by the Fire Department can use this link: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=KTBMXREGWC8RE&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2SvDcNq8PUxwj5dnUFCSCVW3-uVi4nP0q0ot70xtS4T0BcsQYXPDtWGvk_aem_mUOGJZbrs1ONpLUunx8sdw We know it would bring Chris joy to see friends, family and our community rally around Lisa and his children, and we thank you for your support! We will continue to update this page as they settle into their new reality and needs change, so check back often for updates.
