Corey Shaw - Firefighter - Illinois

Firefighter Corey Shaw, age 22, died on June 17, 2011. 

He was with the Du Quoin, Illinois Volunteer Fire Department. 

St. Florian, Patron Saint
of Firemen, pray
for Corey

He was one of dozens of firefighters battling a blaze on the Pinckneyville square, when he was struck by falling bricks from a collapsing wall.

Corey joined the fire team less than a year ago. Family members describe him as a hero and a wonderful husband and father. 

Corey Shaw’s survivors include his wife, Nichole; 3-year-old daughter, Camryn; his parents, Bob and Rosalynn Shaw; and a sister, Megon Trovart. 

Let us pray for all who die in the line of duty. 

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Corey Shaw is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
