YARNELL, Ariz. — The pregnant wife of one of the 19 elite firefighters who died the Yarnell, Ariz., wildfire drove her husband’s ashes 500 miles back to their hometown in California.
The Huffington Post reported that Amanda Misner, the wife of Sean Misner, was saluted by first responders from highway overpasses as she returned home.
“The Misners’ motorcade passed under each overpass, and the appreciation was wordless, but it was there, and it was strong,” wrote Noozhawk’s Lara Cooper.
A memorial fund has been set up in Misner’s honor and donations will be used to set up an education fund for their first child, a boy, who will be named Jaxon, according to the report.
