Justin,
I’m so sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I was just super busy and forgot to get back to you. I know it’s a little
late now, but my schedule is generally M-TH 07:00-5:30. Again, I could make all the excuses in the world but in short, I
didn’t reply right away and then forgot until now. I hope you’re doing alright. Just keep those duck paddles
churning….smoother waters lie ahead I’m sure. Would love to connect sometime. Maybe lunch one of these days. My
cell is 208-404-9742.

Thanks Brian! I appreciate you reaching out. I suppose I’m a like a duck you know…all calm on the surface of the water
but truly paddling like crazy underneath? Ha. Sometimes it may be easier for me to say hey let’s go grab a cup of coffee
to you than my fire brothers just to vent and or bounce something off ya and yes we are both living the shift life/ high
st
stress life of 1 response. I am gearing up to be a guest speaker at the upcoming first responder conference in May and
I’d actually like to grab coffee or lunch with ya sometime to get a pulse of my “cop audience” and the similar yet maybe
different mental health struggles you guys go through? What’s your schedule are you days? I can make time coming up
in the next few weeks. Really appreciate ya reaching out man…let’s connect and just b.s. soon. Feel free to add me to
your contacts my cell is 208-308-7424. Call or text any time.

Justin,
I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife. In talking to you for a few minutes yesterday it seems you are being strong and
bravely getting through this impossible time. I just want to offer my condolences and to let you know, even though we
work in different departments, if you ever need anything, I’d be happy to help if I can. I know you firefighters, just like
us police, are a family, so you probably have plenty of offers for help if needed, but just know my offer is out there as
well.
God bless you and your wonderful children.
Brian Maughan

City Family-
Sawyer, Jake and I and all of my wife Danielle’s family sincerely say THANKS as well. The huge turnout for this event was
overwhelming to me in the best way and makes me so proud to be a part of this organization. It truly is FAMILY here and
each and every one of you are awesome. Every hug (and I needed a lot of them), sympathy and condolence was felt by
us and VERY MUCH APPRECIATED as well as the extreme financial generosity of everyone and then the FANTASTIC
food. Well played. Danielle, you and Battalion Chief Brooks and everyone else behind the scenes certainly rocked the
house and then “dropped the mic” on this one. Thank-you all.
