BAY MINETTE The Bay Minette Fire Department recently celebrated the career of Capt. Jeremy McKissack as he entered retirement.
Earlier this year, McKissack was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the base of his brain stem and has been undergoing treatment ever since.
“It’s hard to see this stature of a firefighter leave the business so soon, as most know we were not expecting things to end this way,” said Fire Chief Mike Minchew.
During the ceremony, McKissack was presented a special plaque commemorating his years of service and in honor of all he has meant to the Bay Minette Fire Department.
