3/4/13 - Mattawan Firefighter Nathan Fruin funeral procession

Funeral services were conducted on Monday, March 4, 2013 for Mattawan Firefighter Nathan Fruin. Firefighter Fruin died of sudden cardiac arrest while riding in a vehicle which was responding to the scene of a house fire for support services on February 26. About five years ago he really found his niche when he became a cadet as a volunteer with the Mattawan Fire Department. Nathan loved serving his community and responded to all fire calls, especially those during the night. He was so proud to put his light bar on the top of his treasured, forest green, F-150 pickup. Firefighter Fruin had just turned 22 years old only two weeks prior and had no known history of medical problems.
