Celebration of life for Morristown firefighter after Peoria collision

Posted

Community members are gathering to celebrate the life of a Morristown firefighter who died from injuries in a December crash in Peoria.

Adrian Garrett Hawkins, a firefighter for the Circle City/Morristown Fire Department, died Dec. 17 following a collision Dec. 14 near 91st Avenue and Thunderbird Road. Peoria police at the time said a motorcyclist was traveling westbound on Thunderbird when a minivan traveling east on Thunderbird turned onto 91st in front of the motorcycle and collided with it.

Police said speed and impairment did not appear to be factors.

A Facebook fundraiser for Mr. Hawkins raised over $11,000 for his family. Donations are still being accepted.

He leaves behind his girlfriend Krystal Dame and two children, ages 2 and 4, according to the fundraiser page.

Funeral services  were Friday, Jan. 10 in Wickenburg and Morristown.

A celebration of life for Mr. Hawkins is 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11 at Dillon’s @ Western Trails Ranch, 37839 W. Grand Ave, Morristown, northwest of Wittmann.
