dedication, loyalty and compassion, truly devoting his life  and  career
to helping others; and

sprawling assisted-living  facility  that  stretched  nearly  an  entire
Spring Valley block; and

  WHEREAS, Firefighter Jared Lloyd was in the process of searching for
residents  from  the  blaze  when he himself became trapped on the third
floor of the building and radioed in a "mayday" call, a call which would
end up being his final words to his comrades; and

  WHEREAS, Jared Lloyd's brother firefighters immediately attempted to
locate and extricate him, but  were  unsuccessful  before  the  building
suffered a catastrophic collapse; and

  WHEREAS,  After searching for more than 18 hours straight, state and

Lloyd,  a  true hero who is credited with saving 112 residents alongside
more than 150 fellow firefighters from four counties; and

  WHEREAS, Firefighter Jared Lloyd gave his life in service to others,
but more importantly, he lived his life in service to others; he proudly
served as an engineer, second lieutenant and first lieutenant among many
leadership positions in Columbian Engine Company No.1; and

  WHEREAS, Born in Flushing, Queens,  to  Calvin  and  Sabrail,  Jared
Lloyd  graduated in 2004, from Spring Valley High School where he played
as a linebacker on the Varsity Football  Team;  in  addition  to  giving
tirelessly  of his time and energies as volunteer firefighter, he worked
as a field service technician for Optimum; and

  WHEREAS, An avid golfer and bowler, Jared Lloyd was a die-hard  Mets
fan who never lost faith in his team; and


  WHEREAS,  While  he  was passionate about many things, above all his
greatest passion was being a father to his two young  sons,  Darius  and
Logan; and

  WHEREAS,   Firefighter   Jared  Lloyd's  infinite  selflessness  and
benevolence will shine on through his family's vivid and happy memories;
