With deep sadness, @STLFireDept announces the passing of Firefighter Willie DeBoise. He devoted more than 17 years of service to the City of St. Louis and more than 12 years to our department and community.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and all who mourn this profound loss.
Rest easy Brother, we have the watch.
