Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey ordered flags at state buildings to fly at half-staff Tuesday to honor a late Goodyear firefighter.
Engineer Austin M. Peck died Saturday from complications associated with an unspecified cancer he contracted while on the job, according to the fire department.
Peck joined the department in 2008. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and retired in July.
He is survived by his wife Erin and two daughters, Marley and Harper. “Our hearts go out to the family of Goodyear firefighter Austin Peck,” Ducey said in a press release. “Firefighter Peck served his community honorably and Arizona will remember his selfless service.”
Flags will also be lowered on the day of Peck’s internment.
According to a Goodyear Fire post, details on funeral services will be announced as they are made available.
