While searching for info on cause of fires on swfd.org, I see that "firefighter, Tim Padgett, was killed in the line of duty while proudly serving our country in Afghanistan on May 8th, 2007."
I think Tim was a volunteer firefighter, living in Defuniak Springs.

please dont tell me this was the son of Howard Padgett that his family use to own "Camp Helen" years ago. I know his son was military. My heart goes out to the family of this young man. He died fighting for us to be safe. Prayers go out to the families.

I don;t know his parents name, but there are plenty of Padgetts who have lived in the DFS area for many years.

His mother is Glenda Penton, who is the manager of the Supervisor of Elections office at the South Walton Annex. Also, Tim was formerly married to Commissioner Kenneth Pridgen's daughter; they had a little girl together.

Thank you for the info. This was not my friends child, but it breaks my heart to hear about such a loss. Obviously this man was very well liked and served his country well. Thoughts and prayers for this family.

Tim worked for SWFD and N. Walton Fire as a FF Paramedic and was a volunteer FF in North Walton. He Left the fire service about 2 years ago to enlist in the service
