💙 Yesterday, our team came together to celebrate the life of our dear friend and teammate, Jason Miller. Jason passed away on Monday, and his loss has left a profound hole in our hearts and in our community.
Jason was more than a dedicated medic—he was a passionate educator, a loyal friend, and a loving family man. He was also an incredible part of our PAWs Team and the first handler to welcome Fresca🌸 when she joined. His compassion, calm, and commitment touched every life he encountered—in the field, in the classroom, and within our team.
Our team has been deployed all over Texas and many parts of the country to help others after tragic events. We’ve sat with survivors & responders, listened to stories of heartbreak, and provided comfort where it was needed most. And we carry those stories with us. We also carry our own. The loss of Jason is one of those stories—a heartbreaking chapter in our journey together.
This loss will have a lasting impact. We’re not just coworkers—we are a family, bound by the experiences we’ve shared, the people we’ve helped, and the support we've offered one another over the years.
With honesty and care, we want to share: Jason died by su***de. Saying this is not easy, but it matters. Mental health struggles are real—especially in the first responder and healthcare community. The weight of what we see and carry can become overwhelming. But you are not alone.
