Stuart has been the Chairman of the Dona Ana County EMS QA Committee as well as an EMT Intermediate with Fairacres VFD. Stuart has been an active member of the EMS and Fire community and will be missed. He passed away in his sleep this morning, at home. His wife and his father were at home with him. The memorial services for Stuart Brown will be at 1500 hours on Monday, April 12th at La Paz Graham Funeral Home, 555 West Amador, Las Cruces. Please pass this information onto the members of your department. We will hold QA on Monday evening. Several of us know that this is what Stuart would have wanted as he was very pleased with the progress we have made over the past couple of years. I'd like to encourage you to attend as a tribute to Stuart.
