The community celebrated the life of Virginia Beach Fire Department Capt. Matthew "Chevy" Chiaverotti with a procession, including a stop at Station 7 in Town Center, where Chiaverotti worked as captain.
He died on April 17 after a hard-fought battle with cancer.
Loved ones and longtime colleagues honored Chiaverotti during a service at the Virginia Beach Convention Center.
Chiaverotti spent more than 20 years working as a firefighter in Virginia Beach. Fire Chief Ken Pravetz described him as a natural-born leader with a "heart of gold."
Additionally, Chiaverotti served as a FEMA search team manager with Virginia Task Force 2. He deployed to catastrophes places like Haiti, Puerto Rico and Florida.
Back in 2012, he spent hours at the scene of the military jet crash known as the "Good Friday Miracle."
No one can say for sure whether that caused his illness, but a hazardous mix of toxins filled the air and the ground that day.
Firefighters who are diagnosed with certain presumptive cancers can receive compensation. Earlier this year, thyroid and bladder cancers joined the list of cancers eligible for benefits. The list already included leukemia, pancreatic, prostate, rectal, throat, ovarian, breast, colon, brain, or testicular cancer.
