Nate Fruin - Firefighter - Michigan

Firefighter Nate Fruin, age 22, died in the line of duty on February 26, 2013, in Mattawan, Michigan.

He was a volunteer member of the Mattawan Fire Department. He had started with the Department at about age 17 as a cadet. 

Nate was on board a support truck traveling to the scene of an explosion at a Mattawan residence. 

The truck had just left the fire station when Nate experienced cardiac arrest. He did not have a history of cardiac problems. He had passed all of his physicals and appeared to be strong and healthy. 

Nate was taken to a local hospital where he passed away.

Fire Department officials are in mourning. They describe Nate as a real good kid. 
Saint Florian, Patron
Saint of Firefighters,
pray for Nate

Family members describe Nate as loving and always there for his family. 

Nate is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his parents, two siblings and his cousin. 

Thank you for serving, Nate. 

Pray for all who die in the line of duty. 

Pray for those who die young and suddenly. They are with us one moment and gone the next. Amen. 

Let us pray that Nate Fruin is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
