NILES — Hundreds of firefighters, first responders and city leaders gathered Tuesday to say goodbye to Capt. David Meyer, a veteran firefighter who was remembered for his courage, leadership and ability to bring levity to his and his colleagues’ dangerous profession.
The funeral for Meyer, 54, was held Tuesday at St. John Brebeuf Catholic Church in Niles. The 28-year fire department veteran died last week from injuries sustained while working a garage fire in the 1200 block of North Pine Avenue in Austin earlier that day.
