Daniel Tallman Obituary, Assistant Chief At City Of Highland Fire Department Has Passed Away

Daniel Tallman Obituary, Death – The courageous battle against cancer that Assistant Chief Daniel Tallman battled over the previous four years has come to an end. It is with the deepest regret that we share the news of his demise. The road that Daniel took was one that required bravery and resiliency, and it inspired everyone who knew him.

Daniel began his career in the fire service in 2002 with the Pana Fire Department, where he remained until his retirement in April of 2017. His devotion to the fire service stretched over twenty years. He joined the City of Highland Fire Department in 2018, and throughout the course of his tenure there, he worked his way up through the ranks to become Assistant Chief. The fact that he served as a Special Agent for the Arson Division of the Office of the State Fire Marshal and as a Field Instructor for the University of Illinois Fire Service Institute is further evidence of his dedication to exceeding expectations. As an additional point of interest, Daniel exemplified the principles of honor, responsibility, and service while serving his nation with distinction in the Air Force.

Daniel made a lasting impression on the community of firefighters throughout his career as a result of his leadership, devotion, and compassion. Many people looked up to him as a guide and inspiration, and he was a mentor to the next generation of firemen. Because of the infinite number of people whose lives he changed and the wealth of information he shared, his legacy will go on.

In this trying time, we ask that you remember Daniel’s cherished wife Tiffany, his son Wyatt, and the whole Tallman family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your consideration of this request. It is my hope that they may find comfort in the fond memories they shared with Daniel and in the knowledge that his legacy will continue to shine brightly through those whom he mentored.

Even though Daniel is not physically here with us anymore, his spirit will continue to be a part of our lives forever in the hearts of everyone who had the honor of knowing him. May he rest in peace, secure in the knowledge that he had a significant influence on the lives of other people.
