It is with deep sorrow that we share the news that Firefighter/Paramedic Kevin Hauber, a beloved member of Buffalo Grove Professional Firefighters and Paramedics Local 3177, has passed away after a long battle with cancer. Our hearts go out to his family during this incredibly difficult time.
Kevin was a dedicated firefighter and paramedic who served the community for over two decades. His passion for protecting others was rooted in his childhood dream, which he fulfilled by joining the Buffalo Grove Fire Department in 1994. He was known not only for his professionalism but also for his kindness, humor, and unwavering commitment to his fellow firefighters.
In 2014, while undergoing chemotherapy, Kevin had the opportunity to meet Randy Mantooth, one of the stars from the classic show *Emergency!*, which inspired him and his twin brother Jim to pursue their careers in emergency services. The moment was meaningful to Kevin, and he cherished the photo they took together.
Kevin was also an active member of the Associated Firefighters of Illinois (AFFI) Honor Guard, where he showed incredible dedication and respect for fallen heroes. In 2018, he was honored with the Donald J. Bower Commitment to Excellence Award for his service to the honor guard.
