Brody Reville Fleming

Brody was born on June 9, 1987 in Houston, Texas and left his earthly body on 03-12-2012.

He is the beloved son of Joy Fellenz and Jim Fleming, and stepson of John Fellenz and Carrie Ann Moore.
Brody was the cherished brother of Colter Fleming and his fiancée Kelly Sindler, step-brother to Kelly and Tim Blackstone, Courtney and Matt Hole; he is also survived by loving grandmothers Bette Bradley and Lucille Fleming and a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and family members.

Brody's educational path took many twists and turns. He attended Anneliese's Preschool, Top of the World Elementary School, St. Anne's Catholic School, St. Margaret's Episcopal School, Capistrano Valley Christian School and Trabuco Hills High School in Orange County, CA. He also attended Westridge Middle School and Westlake High School in Austin, TX graduating in 2005 from R.L. Turner in Carrollton, TX. Brody entered The University of Nevada Las Vegas in the fall of 2005 but decided after the first semester to enlist in The United States Navy. He served at Atsugi Naval Air Station in Japan.

Coming back to the states, Brody enrolled at Blinn College, Brenham but after driving by TEEX Fire Academy in College Station realized his dream ambition was to become a firefighter/paramedic. He completed firefighter training at Desoto Fire Academy, EMT training and paramedic school at Blinn College, Bryan, Texas.

Brody was a terrific athlete, a child actor and model, a bartender and bouncer, valet car parker, waiter, EMS driver, but it was when he got hired by the Plano Fire Department on June 20, 2011 that Brody found his true calling, his passion and his career for life.

The family wishes to express their deepest and most sincere appreciation to the Plano Fire Department and Fort Worth Fire Department for anticipating our every need, offering friendship, support and comfort during this time of grief. We are forever grateful that when Brody was called to heaven he had achieved his greatest ambitionthat of being a fireman for the City of Plano.
