The Vaad Harabonim of Spring Valley, including Rabbi Avraham Yaakov Hurwitz, Rabbi Chaim Shabbos, and Rabbi Menachem Dov Halevi Beck, have requested that the Jewish community stand to honor fallen firefighter Jared Lloyd as his funeral procession passes.

In a letter posted Thursday, the rabbonim highlight the heroism showed by the fallen firefighter, who repeatedly entered the burning Spring Valley Assisted Living facility to save the endangered residents.

As a show of Hakaras Hatov towards the man who saved multiple lives, the rabbonim asked that any residents on the route of the planned funeral stand by to honor Jared Lloyd as the procession passes.

Updated Route: The funeral will be taking place on Shabbos afternoon between 1:00pm and 2:30pm, beginning at Boulder Stadium at Route 45. It will then turn right to Route 49, then turn on West Street then onto Maple Street. It will continue onto Route 306 and turn right on Brick Church Road to the cemetery.
