Honor Max Bayer by supporting the Baby Bayer Scholarship Fund

With the family’s permission, this is the official donation page for the unborn child of Max and Caitlin Bayer. Captain Max Bayer, who served with the Raymond Fire Department for 14 years and was a firefighter with the City of Racine Fire Department, tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident on October 10, 2024. He was just 31 years old. Caitlin, who is currently 17 weeks pregnant, is facing an unimaginable loss as she prepares to welcome their child into the world.

Max and Caitlin were married on September 22, 2023, and were excitedly anticipating the arrival of their first child. Although Baby Bayer will never have the chance to meet Max, they will grow up knowing the legacy of a true hero—a dedicated firefighter and EMT who was cherished by his colleagues and community.

In honor of Max’s memory, this fund has been established by the Racine Firefighters Local 321 and the Raymond Fire Department through the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin Charitable Foundation. All proceeds will support a scholarship fund for Baby Bayer’s future education, ensuring a bright future and honoring the life of a firefighter who always put others first.

Thank you for your generosity in supporting Max’s family during this difficult time. Your donation will help secure a hopeful future for Baby Bayer and keep Max’s spirit alive through the kindness he showed throughout his life.
