It is with heavy hearts that the Ridgefield Volunteer Fire Department announces the passing of active member Brandon von Koschembahr,19, on November 27th, 2009 as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.
Brandon, a 9 year resident and two year member of the department, was a 2008 graduate of Ridgefield High School. He had received several awards for excellence in the field of computers. He had been cited in 2007 on a 60 Minutes TV segment as an expert in getting computers to work. He was a Web design assistant at Sanvik Publishing in Danbury and was studying graphic design at Western Connecticut State University.
There will be no calling hours, and the burial will be private. A celebration of life will be held in December and the details will be posted here.
