May God bless 's family and friends. I hadn't thought about him for a

number of years, and I am sorry that he passed.

Subject: Witcher, LP, Has Passed Away

Wayne Witcher, Licensed Paramedic & EMS Instructor, most recently the

Director of the Honey Grove First Responders, and former Paramedic with Honey

Grove EMS, passed away overnight as a result of a cardiac arrest.

No services have been set at this time, as an autopsy has been scheduled at

SWIFS. I will pass out any visitation information/funeral service information

once it is available.

Rest in peace, brother.

Yes, he was hilariously funny. He could have been a stand-up comedian. He

loved to " put people on " who didn't know him and play the redneck hillbilly.

He was also very smart and knew his medicine. Sometimes when we would have a

serious accident or medical call, he would have to respond from his auto repair

shop looking something like " Pig Pen " from Peanuts. That's what sometimes

happens in volunteer services. I remember times when we had an critical

patients that he was lead on, and the nurse and doctor were giving him the evil

eye because of his appearance he astounded them with his report. He was

perfectly capable of saying things like, " This patient has an inferior MI with

right ventricular extension " and he was right.

He fixed my cars and trucks for 20 years at least and always did a great job.

He and his dad ran the wrecker service for decades and before we had a rescue

squad they would respond and use their air chisel and other tools to help us

extricate.

He wasn't well known outside Fannin County, TX, but those who knew him will

never forget him.
