Abandoned Boy Meets the Man Who Rescued Him

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- He was abandoned at a fire station as an infant.

Now 10 years later a boy's wish of meeting the man who saved his life comes true.  

It seemed like even the heavens smiled upon this night.

Pulled the blanket back and there he is, 10 years ago on the porch of Arlington Fire Station #12 someone abandoned a baby boy.

Koregan's sister Staci Quintanilla says, "What happened is his teacher asked him if he could be anywhere, if he could go anywhere what's on his bucket list? And he said 'to come to his fire station' and we were like 'what?'"

Wesley Keck, the Arlington firefighter who rested Koregan says, "Well I'm excited that you're here, I'm glad that uh, I've thought about you a million times over the years.  

Koregan Quintanilla's dream was to reunite with Wes Keck, the firefighter he calls his firefighter.

I was excited that I got to meet him. 

He was adopted into a family with five sisters where his past is not a secret it's a celebration.

Sistine Quintanilla, another of Koregan's sister's says, "It's really exciting to me because he gets to meet the person that found him and the he's still living today.  

The girls watched him get the royal treatment and so did almost every news camera in town, simply in awe.

"I'm glad I get to come here and see everyone because this is my fire station that I was abandoned at," Koregan says. 

Left alone 10 years ago, never to be lonely again.
