Honoring Fire Capt. Mike Tepe – Jackson Hole Fire/EMS, Oct 12, 2017

Our thoughts are with Jackson Hole Fire/EMS in the loss of Brother Mike Tepe. Capt. Tepe lost his battle with cancer on Oct. 3 at his home in Wilson. He was 54.

Mike is survived by his wife, Nicole, and children, Rylan and Curran.

A funeral procession and service for Jackson Hole Fire / EMS Captain Mike Tepe has been set for Saturday, October 14. Family, invited friends, fire apparatus and first responder vehicles will be involved in the motorized procession from Wilson into Jackson. The general public is asked not to drive or enter a vehicle in the procession; however, they are encouraged to line the procession route and show their respect for Captain Tepe and his family.

In lieu of flowers, donations for his children’s college expenses can be made to the Mike Tepe College Fund through the Bank of Jackson Hole, P.O. Box 7000, Jackson, WY 83002.

We have always been very proud to have an association with Jackson, Wyoming, which is why we felt it important to assure you of our support and friendship at this very difficult time.
