We all Know A Little Boy That Wanted to Grow Up to be a First Responder Rory The Warrior with Sherry Dawn-Sheffield

Rory, given his Last Ride A Hero and a Warrior to so many.

Rory Antley Sheffield was born a firecracker.

Rory was walking by 9 months and never stopped once he got vertical.  He was the joy of his family and Daddy named him his “Little Warrior”.  He loved firetrucks and would watch numerous videos of them going out on calls.  One of his favorite videos built a firetruck from the tires up and he could name each part.

Listen to this episode to hear how Rory is just like any other normal toddler that we know walking around our house and yours.

On August 17, 2016, their family, along with 3 other families, rented a home in Concan, Tx.  They had planned a fun, relaxing vacation with friends.  On Friday, August 19th, after returning from the Frio River, everyone started getting ready for dinner.  Rory slipped away and decided to go swimming.  Only he didn’t know how to swim and his lifejacket had been removed to dry.

"Within minutes of my friend calling 911, a volunteer fireman heard the call and was just minutes away."

They could have done nothing after his death. Yet Rory was too special and God had bigger plans for him and his family. They wanted to save other families from their nightmare.

The family wanted to support the volunteer fire departments and first responders that Rory so loved.  So Rory the Warrior, Inc was started in honor of their little Warrior, Rory Antley Sheffield.
