Recently a dear friend & colleague of mine passed away unexpectedly. He was a Santa Barbara County Park Ranger at the time. I wanted to take a minute to post this here as many are still grieving his loss to include his two adolescent daughters. May he rest in peace. He was honored & awarded post-posthumously only a few days later for an unrelated incident in 2021, where as his quick action… Mores of applying a tourniquet to a victim of a fatal accident saved their life. I should note Tony was off duty. The surviving victim recovered from his near fatal wounds due to his actions. Anthony (Tony) was awarded (among several others) annual ceremony by: Sheriff Bill Brown who presented the Lifesaving award to members of the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office, members of allied agencies or civilians who perform CPR or other lifesaving first aid procedures upon ill or injured persons, resulting in the individual surviving their immediate injury or medical emergency. rAME
