MUSKEGON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The Muskegon Charter Township Fire Department is mourning the loss of one of their own.
The department posted on Facebook Thursday that former Captain Bryan Fethke had passed away. He retired earlier this week following a 30-year career.
A department Facebook post Thursday said, "If I write this post that means it is true. That must be why I have written it 30 times. This week we began by celebrating your retirement and today we celebrate the legacy you left on all of us. Rest easy my friend."
His family shared Fethke passed peacefully in his sleep on Thursday.
In a release, the department said, in part:
"We ask that their privacy be respected during this extremely difficult time. Our department will release funeral information when that becomes available. No additional information will be released until that point."
