WARRIOR By Marilyn Garrison& Myra FosterAs we wrote this book, It was our goal that you see Sawyer on every page hear his laughter taste his music feel his heartbeat see his spirit. Most know he fought against demons, but not all know he won. This book is about Sawyer Grooms, fallen firefighter, son, grandson, brother, friend, musician, encourager, amazing and awesome man.With a heavy heart and sick stomach I am letting you know we lost an Awesome Firefighter; on the morning of May 2, 2016, Sawyer Grooms, age 26, passed away. Sawyer became a firefighter at the age of 19 and worked with us here at Great Lakes Agency. We knew what a beautiful, humorous, kind and talented man he was. Dave Pergolski, Fire& Fuels Manager, BIA, GLAThis book walks the steps of a proud, self-reliant man being transformed into a humble servant who learned total reliance upon God. He was doing what his heart led him to do, a simple act where many of us fail. He loved his fire!! I recall many times telling him it was a dangerous job and he might want to rethink his choices. But for him, being outdoors, hiking, working hard, and the camaraderie that was what it was all about. I know for a fact he loved the Lord, and has been fighting the good fight for years, and has a relationship with God. It showed in his tats, his music, his demeanor, and his heart. I WILL see him again. I thank you all for being a part of his life. God bless!
