Join us in honoring Graham’s legacy by contributing to this vital cause.
Graham Hoffman—end of watch; April 27, 2025. Tragically killed in the line of duty at the hands of a patient he was caring for in his ambulance. Graham embodied the finest quality—selfless service for others. He was taken from us while working to save lives which makes his loss all the more painful. He was working an overtime shift in the Kansas City, Missouri Northland area at the time of his death. Graham did not take long to show his kindness, soft spoke and witty personality. A caring, compassionate and loving person both on and off the job. He was considered a natural leader by his fellow firefighters. We honor his legacy by offering annual scholarships in his memory to deserving individuals desiring to follow in Graham’s footsteps by becoming a firefighter/paramedic.
Hoffman’s funeral service was held Friday,with dozens of first-responding agencies from across the country in attendance.
Since Hoffman’s tragic death, people from around the world have shown love and support for his family.
Joe Eddings, owner of E2 Embroidery and Screen Printing and retired KCFD firefighter, made a shirt in honor of Hoffman. The shirt is $15, and all the proceeds will go directly to the Hoffman family.
