Stephen Gerard Siller, the youngest of seven, faced profound challenges early in life, losing both parents by the age of ten. With the unwavering support of his siblings, he grew into a devoted husband, father of five, and a courageous firefighter with Brooklyn’s Squad 1. On September 11, 2001, after completing his shift, Stephen ran through the closed Brooklyn Battery Tunnel with 60 pounds of gear to reach the Twin Towers, where he made the ultimate sacrifice to save others. Guided by the words of St. Francis of Assisi, “While we have time, let us do good,” Stephen’s life and heroism inspire us to act with kindness, courage, and purpose.
