WHITE SETTLEMENT (CBS11) - Storms would not deter this community from honoring a man who served them for nearly a decade.
Monday night they demanded justice for the driver who took this firefighter away from his children and wife and his brothers at the fire department.
Overnight, Trevor Gage's wife, Brandie was abruptly, forced to adjust to the new role of widow & single mom.
"My son said when he saw him, who hurt Daddy, why isn't Daddy moving, who is going to take me fishing," said Brandie Gage.
The firefighter, mechanic and father of three was killed in a hit and run crash over the weekend.
Firefighters shielded Gage's wife, who had strong words for the driver responsible.
"You are a monster and not a human being with a beating heart--you don't deserve to walk on this earth with my family," said Brandie Gage.
For nine years the White Settlement Fire Station was Gage's second home--his colleagues--a second family.
"He's my brother--and it hurts to know he was taken my brother was taken from me the way he was taken. It was senseless," says, colleague Brandon Logan.
"It's going to be hard to walk to the door," says Trevor's actual brother, Kevin. "Knowing that he's not going to be there--see his locker empty... hard for me but his other brothers."
Shoulder to shoulder they packed a rec room to honor his life and demanded justice for the driver who took it away.
"I will never stop looking for you until you are caught or to the day I die. My children deserve justice," said Brandie Gage.
There is a GoFundMe page set up to help the Gage family.
