Retired police inspector and former St John Ambulance Jersey commander Nigel Truscott died early this morning at Jersey Hospice Care.
Mr Truscott, who first joined St John Ambulance as a cadet in 1969, moved through the ranks of the organisation to become commander in 2010.
Last year, he was awarded an MBE in recognition of his voluntary services to First Aid at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
He is survived by his wife, Sharon, daughter Kelly, son Andrew, and four grandchildren.
