A pastor tragically died while trying to save his two sons from a house fire.

It was a tragic day for the community of Pickaway County, Ohio as Pastor Mark Robinette and his two sons lost their lives in a devastating house fire early Tuesday morning. The 55-year-old pastor from Foundation Church, along with his sons Liam, 10, and Gideon, 17, were inside their home when the fire broke out around 12:30am. Despite the efforts of first responders and neighbors, all three of them perished in the flames.

The Pickaway County Coroner's Office confirmed the heartbreaking news, as reported by The Columbus Dispatch. Mark's brother, Paul, took to social media to share the heartbreaking details of the tragedy. He revealed that his brother had bravely attempted to save his two children from the fire, but unfortunately, they were unable to escape.

Mark had been a vocational pastor at Foundation Church in Mount Sterling, where he and his wife were raising their eight children. According to his family, Mark was a selfless and compassionate person who dedicated his life to serving those in need. He had a heart for the homeless and those struggling with addiction, and his church and ministry were a reflection of his kind and giving nature.

In the midst of such a devastating loss, the community came together to support the family. Three other individuals who were in the house at the time of the fire were injured and taken to the hospital for treatment. Thankfully, they were released the following morning.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation by the state's fire and explosions bureau. While the family is trying to come to terms with their loss, they have not yet made any arrangements for their loved ones. Hugh Rose, a family member, spoke on behalf of the grieving family, stating that they are all still in shock and it will take some time for them to process this tragedy.

This tragic event comes just weeks after another devastating house fire in Somers, Connecticut, where four young children lost their lives despite the brave efforts of their neighbors. And just days after that, a son in Queens, New York, also lost his life while trying to save his elderly mother from a burning home.

The entire community is mourning the loss of Pastor Mark and his two sons. They will be remembered for their selfless sacrifice and the impact they had on the lives of those around them. May their souls rest in peace.
