Jet ski accident claims life of EMT-P

[Guest guest]

Attached is the article from the Weatherford Democrat regarding Steve

Gifford:

Weatherford College lost one of its own Sunday when Steve Gifford was

killed in a jet ski accident. The 45-year-old Emergency Medical Technology

department chairman was spending the afternoon at Possum Kingdom Lake when a

jet ski hit him and his daughter from the side. The two were riding their

jet ski when they collided with the other water craft. The girl was

uninjured. Gifford was sent to Hospital via helicopter but

died when he arrived. Reports show he died of blunt force trauma to the

chest. See Tuesday's print edition for an in-depth look at his influence on

the community.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Gifford, but I had talked

to him a few times on the phone when I was deciding what school to

go to for my EMT-P. He sounded like a great guy, and I'm sure his

reputation outweighs anything I could say about him. I'm sure he

will be greatly missed.
