Stephen Russell, 40, was nicknamed “MacGyver” for his ability to build or fix anything. He was a skilled carpenter (and member of the Carpenter’s Union) who had built the memorial & awards cabinet at Engine 55, not knowing that he & four others would be the first honored in it. Being a firefighter was his dream job. His mother said that he was drawn to the camaraderie and the excitement. I think he liked living on the edge. Fire or water were in almost every aspect of his life. He owned three boats, one for water skiing, plus a kayak and a wave runner. He loved scuba and considered teaching it. His parents learned about a scheduled sky dive only after he died. Russell’s remains were recovered in October.
