PHOENIX — Memorial services have been announced for a Phoenix firefighter and paramedic who died off-duty late last month.

Adam Cauthorn’s memorial services will occur at Christ Church of the Valley (7007 W. Happy Valley Rd.) in Peoria at 10 a.m. on Wednesday.

“This service is an opportunity to honor Adam’s bravery, dedication and the lasting impact he had on our community,” the Phoenix Fire Department said in a press release.

“Family, friends and members of the Phoenix Fire Department will gather to share memories and reflect on his 18 years of service to the city of Phoenix.”

What happened to Phoenix firefighter who died off-duty?

Cauthron died after suffering an unspecified health emergency, the department announced Sept. 29.

Cauthron left behind a wife and two children. A GoFundMe campaign was set up to support his family.

The firefighter had 18 years of service and was trained and certified in technical rescues and hazardous materials.

His skills qualified him to be a member of Arizona Task Force 1, which responds to national disasters when called upon by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

He deployed with the task force in June to help victims of wildfires and subsequent flooding in Ruidoso, New Mexico.
