On Feb 27 Jeff Mann passed away, from cancer. Jeff was Russell's uncle. Jeff served as a Thunderbird for 2 years, owned his own masonry company, and was a firefighter for 20 years. Jeff helped train new fireman, so he was involved with most of the fire stations in Henderson. The community was amazing, people stopped got out of there cars, hands over their hearts as the police, fire, and ambulances made a parade from fire station to fire station in his honor. These two fire trucks, held this HUGE flag that the procession passed under. The service was full of people and emotion. Jeff was an terrific person to know in life. All that knew and loved Jeff were blessed to know such a great man.
