Robert H. Garner

Robert will be remembered by all as a hero for the brave actions he took in the fire that claimed his life. To those who knew him well he was a hard working, loving, loyal, and dedicated young man.

In 2003 Robert joined the United States Air Force where he proudly served for 6 years. During this time, Robert completed two tours in Iraq fighting for his country.

Upon leaving the Air Force, Robert began the quest to fulfill his dream of becoming a Houston Fire Fighter. That dream was realized in 2010 when Robert was accepted into the Houston Fire Academy as part of Class 2010 B. Robert put his incredible work ethic to use and began to study and train until he graduated second in his class.

Robert had the honor and privilege of beginning and ending his firefighting career with the men and women of Station 68. These men and women were like family to him. He treasured every day that he had the opportunity to serve along side them.

Robert was loved and valued by so many! He was an amazing son, brother and friend. His memory will live on and he will never be forgotten.
