Guilderland Emergency Medical Services

08/28/2025

It is with sorrow and regret that we learned of Paramedic Kevin Robert’s unexpected passing yesterday. Kevin was a flight medic for LifeNet of New York and a paramedic at Malta-Stillwater EMS, and our thoughts are with our brothers and sisters as well as his family. Kevin was a member of our family many years ago and has left an everlasting impression on us. He will be missed.
