BROOKLINE – A large contingent of firefighters, police and other first-responders from Brookline and beyond gathered with friends and family Saturday to pay tribute to Lt. Brian Moore, who died unexpectedly May 11, three days shy of what would have been his 58th birthday.

“It is with a deeply heavy heart that we announce the loss of Lt. Brian Moore,” reads a post on the Brookline Fire Department’s website. It goes on to offer condolences to family members and others close to the career firefighter and EMT, and asks members of the community to do so as well.

Moore, a native of Concord, Massachusetts, had been with Brookline fire and EMS for 18 years, and before that served the Massachusetts communities of Townsend, Boxboro and Pepperell,

He was also a U.S. Army veteran, having joined after graduating high school in 1981 through 1985.

The service celebrating Moore’s life took place at Pine Grove Cemetery in Brookline.

The family asks that anyone wishing to make a donation in Moore’s name to do so to the Brookline Fire Department or the Townsend Senior Center.
