The life of a local teenager was honored Saturday afternoon at Burton City Park.
A table and seats with a memorial plaque were dedicated in the memory of Kelby Jasinski, who was killed in a car crash last July in Caldwell County, west of Bastrop. He was 15 years old.
An avid supporter of firefighters in Burton and across the state, Jasinski was selected to serve as the mascot for the State Firefighters’ and Fire Marshals’ Association of Texas (SFFMA).
Jasinski was recently honored by State Senator Lois Kolkhorst, who said he was “an exemplary young man whose captivating smile, commitment to helping others, and enthusiasm for living each day to the fullest will not be forgotten”.
The plaque was presented by Burton Mayor David Zajicek and Fire Chief Ronnie Stanley, and Donny Boggs of the SFFMA.
