All are invited to remember and honor BC William “Bill” Hoover, Kirkland Fire Department, and his beloved wife, Kristy Hoover. A memorial service will be held at Overlake Christian Church on August 24th at 2 p.m.

We are overwhelmed by the amount of support and love poured out for the Hoover family. In consultation with their children, a GoFundMe page has been set up to honor Bill and Kristy. gofund.me/aa7368eb

Today we mourn the loss of our brother, mentor, leader, Battalion Chief and friend. Chief Bill Hoover and his wife Kristy tragically lost their lives in a car accident, July 21, 2023.  Our thoughts and prayers remain with their family as they endure this tragedy.
