A man was reportedly killed in a utility terrain vehicle crash on Saturday, May 2, at Hidden Falls Adventure Park just outside of Marble Falls. The victim was said to be Caleb Miller, the fire chief of the Rosebud Volunteer Fire Department.
According to the Burnet County Sheriff’s Office, first responders were toned out at around 5:32 p.m. on Saturday to Hidden Falls Adventure Park, an outdoor recreation area at 7030 RR 1431 just outside of Marble Falls.
Miller was pronounced dead at the scene. He had apparently crashed a UTV and suffered fatal injuries in the process.
The incident is still under investigation, but is believed to be an accident according to the BCSO.
A post made to the Rosebud VFD Facebook page on Sunday, May 3, memorialized Miller and his role as chief.
“As we try to find answers to reasons we can’t understand, all we know is we lost more than a fire chief yesterday, we lost a brother, a mentor, and the kind of leader you only get once in a lifetime,” reads the post. “Caleb Miller was genuine, compassionate, and selfless beyond measure. He led with heart, served with pride, and cared for his people like family.”
