On Wednesday, December 23, 2010 Rowan and Cabarrus County lost a very dedicated Firefighter to a heart attack as he worked out at the South Rowan YMCA.

David Carpenter, 58, was an Engineer for the Kannapolis Fire Department and the Assistant Chief of the China Grove Fire Department. We held his Memorial service yesterday. The Salisbury Post Newspaper article about this event is HERE.

"Carp" and I have run many, many, calls together and he will be sorely missed.
Rest In Peace Brother!

Ahoalton!
