In memory of 34 year member and Ex-Chief of the South Spring Valley Fire Department Jon “Booger” Lacher (1969 – 2020)

Booger (as he was fondly referred to) was a proud member of the South Spring Valley Fire Department and cherished protecting the community for as long as he did. He had a joke for every situation (bad or good) but was always someone you can go to for help and advice. Jon wasn’t just a fireman. He was a loving father, husband, son, brother, and friend.

As we all go through these hard times and tribulations. Please remember Jon and his family in your prayers.
