Gunter Volunteer Fire & Rescue

We are saddened to learn of the passing of the former Chief of Van Alstyne FD, Chief Lewis. Chief Lewis was the Chief of Van Alstyne when I first joined Gunter FD. I consider it an honor to have worked with Chief Lewis on many scenes. Thank you for your years of service Chief. Rest easy.

It is with heavy hearts that we learned of the passing of former Van Alstyne Fire Chief Robert Lewis.
Chief Lewis dedicated many years of his life to serving the Van Alstyne community. His leadership, commitment, and passion for helping others left a lasting mark on both the fire department and the city he proudly served. He was well known and respected throughout the community, and his contributions helped shape the department for generations to come.
We are proud to honor the legacy Chief Lewis left behind and the contributions he made to this department and community. His years of service, leadership, and dedication to Van Alstyne remain an important part of our department's history and a lasting example of selfless service.
Rest easy, Chief. Thank you for your service, your leadership, and your commitment to this community. Your legacy will not be forgotten.
