Two pilots and two Albuquerque first responders killed in northeast Arizona while en route to pick up a patient were remembered Tuesday as having dedicated their lives to helping others.

"Even though I did not have the opportunity to know these individuals, their lives speak volumes to me," retired Bernalillo County Fire Chief Gregory Perez said during a memorial service at the Kiva Auditorium in Downtown Albuquerque. "Just by showing up to work each and every day, they acted with compassion for the sick and for the dying and for the communities that rely so heavily on them."
