(Patterson Heights, Pa.) The Patterson Heights Volunteer Fire Department announced on their Facebook Page around midnight last night that “at 8:34 PM on Tuesday evening, September 21, 2021, Lieutenant Sam Stadterman passed away peacefully after a hard fought battle with Esophageal Cancer.” We first told you about Sam and his battle back in March of this year. The post went on to say that” Sam was a great first responder and dedicated line officer for the PHVFD. His invaluable leadership will be sorely missed. Rest easy, brother, we’ll take it from here. Your contributions to not only the PHVFD, but fire service as a whole to Beaver County will not be forgotten. Please keep his wife, Lisa and family in your prayers.”

Sam is survived by his wife Lisa and two step-daughters.
