Lowell Satterwhite, Sr. had responded to a “full code” medical emergency on June 10, 2016, with the Dakota City Fire and Rescue in Dakota City, Nebraska.
Shortly after midnight a 911 call was made from his residence for possible heart attack. He was taken to the hospital where doctors attempted to continue to revive him but all efforts were unsuccessful.
People in the community had a lot of respect for him. He did everything he needed to do to keep the community safe throughout the years — fight fires, save lives, and literally change lives with what he did.
In both work and family, he was dedicated, loved to have fun, pulling little pranks, laughing, and enjoying the outdoors, hunting and fishing. Co-workers say Lowell was a leader at the fire hall, someone everyone could look up to in his 41 years with the department.
