Remembering our The EVOLUTION Magazine friend , Chad Sappenfield , Army veteran , firefighter / paramedic and equipment operator for Independence , MO , who took his life on October 25 . He suffered from PTSD and was seeking help , but as a first responder , his medication was limited . He was really a quite amazing person . He will be forever missed .
