-Hundreds of people gathered in Colby on Thursday as a community came together to remember a hometown hero.Jamison Kampmeyer died while fighting a fire in Abbotsford's historic Abby Theatre on Sunday. Kampmeyer served as a volunteer firefighter with the Colby Fire Department. He was also a Marathon County Sheriff's deputy.
The memory of Jamison Kampmeyer lingers in the hearts of those who were close to him.
"I think that was the whole theme of his life, to give back," said Andrew Kleppe, who worked with Kampmeyer. "He worked on the fire department. He worked as a law enforcement officer. He was just always giving and giving and giving."
To a man who gave so much -- a community is now giving back. People lined up long before Kampmeyer's visitation started at Colby High School waiting to pay their final respects.
