Michigan City Firefighter Richard Nagy Remembered for His Service and Spirit

Michigan City, IN (September 13, 2025) — The Michigan City Fire Department is mourning the sudden loss of Firefighter Richard Nagy, who passed away while off duty on Friday, September 12th.

Firefighter Nagy joined the department in 2022 and quickly earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues. Known for his boundless energy, enthusiasm, and ever-present smile, he brought a sense of positivity to every shift. His dedication to the fire service and his community was evident in the way he approached each day—with commitment, courage, and an uplifting spirit.

“Richard wasn’t just a firefighter; he was a brother to all of us,” the department said in a statement. “To say that he will be missed would be a grave understatement.”

Beyond his service, Nagy will be remembered for the joy he brought to those around him—friends, family, and fellow firefighters alike. His passing leaves a profound void, not only within the department but throughout the Michigan City community.

The department has asked for continued prayers for his family, friends, and brothers and sisters in the fire service during this difficult time. Memorial arrangements will be shared once finalized, in accordance with the family’s wishes.
