📸 A Tribute to a Life of Service, short as it was. I’ve received some deeply emotional and poignant photos from Harshandeep’s funeral—a heartfelt ceremony that honored his life, legacy, and unwavering dedication to others. These images truly capture the immense respect and recognition he earned from first responders and the community he served so selflessly. Harshandeep’s impact will never be forgotten. His commitment to helping others and the lives he touched stand as a powerful reminder of the strength found in service, compassion, and sacrifice. #InLovingMemory #ServiceAboveSelf #FirstResponders #LegacyOfLove #Tribute Swipe through to see this moving tribute to a remarkable life. (Include the photos in a carousel post or reel.)

The Alberta First Responder Association is a community made up of individuals that by the very nature of their work put the safety and/or wellness of the general public above their own. Today we were honoured to stand together as a community to pay respect for Harshandeep Singh. As we honour our fallen, we pledge to remember them as we continue to serve.
