Biographical Comments
It is with profound sadness that the members of the Loudoun Career Firefighters Association, Local 3756, announce the untimely passing of one of our most cherished members, Captain Dannie Wilson.
After a courageous but brief battle with cancer, Dannie left us far too soon. To those who knew him, Dannie was more than just a firefighter, he was a mentor, a leader, and a friend. From his earliest days as a volunteer in Sterling, transitioning to a career firefighter after being hired with LCFR on January 20, 2000, to his final assignment as Captain of Round Hill Fire Station 4, Dannie’s fingerprints are all over the history and growth of Loudoun County Fire and Rescue.
He trained and guided countless firefighters, shaping not only their careers but also the culture of our fire service. His steady presence on the fireground, his quick wit, and his unbreakable love for the Pittsburgh Steelers lifted spirits and inspired confidence when it was needed most.
Dannie’s legacy will live on in every firefighter he taught, every life he touched, and every memory shared around the kitchen table or on the front line.
Our hearts are with Dannie’s family as they grieve this unimaginable loss. They remain part of our firehouse family forever, surrounded by the same strength and support Dannie gave to so many throughout his life.
Rest easy, brother, we will take it from here.
