Steve H. Herman
Department: Los Angeles County
Deceased: December 21, 2008
Steve Herman, better known as "Pee Wee" at the fire department, never considered himself a hero. "I'm just doing my job," he would say, too humble to accept praise for a job well done. Steven had a gruff persona but once you got to know him, he was a true firefighters' firefighter and a real family man. He was known as "Butthead" to his daughter, and was his son's best fishing and basketball buddy. He passed away from job-related pancreatic cancer.
