Family, friends and colleagues paid their final respects to a beloved Rochester firefighter Tuesday afternoon.

Calling hours were at the Riverside Convention Center for Elvis Reyes.

He recently passed away after complications from surgery.

Reyes spent 20 years serving the Rochester Fire Department.

"We are here, I think it shows how much love that the community and department have for him. He is and was a very beautiful man with a big heart. Always focusing on giving to other people, both on the job and off the job," Captain David Abdoch said.

His funeral service will take place at the Blue Cross Arena Wednesday.

The Rochester skyline will be lit up red in honor of Reyes Tuesday night.
