“The members of the Spencerport Fire District today mourn the loss of Fire District Commissioner
and Chairman David Resch. Commissioner Resch passed away suddenly during an incident
involving his private vehicle on Gillett Road on the evening of March 4, 2021. Ogden Police are
investigating, but preliminary reports are that Commissioner Resch suffered a medical emergency
while driving home following a Board of Commissioners meeting held earlier that evening. On
behalf of the entire Spencerport Fire District organization, we extend our heartfelt condolences to
the family of Commissioner Resch. We also appreciate the quick response and partnership of the
Ogden Police Department and Gates Volunteer Ambulance Service during the incident. We would
also like to thank the staff at Unity Hospital for their professionalism and care. At this time, we
ask that the community please keep the Resch Family in their thoughts as this loss affects everyone
who had the honor of knowing David and his extended family. Further details regarding funeral
arrangements will be announced at a later time and in keeping with the family’s wishes.”
