Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Ranger Grossheim, you counted the cost of remaining safe from high winds and tumultuous seas, but knew those in distress needed your help, got underway, rescued a family and lost your own life. Your life and legacy will live on in their home and in the hearts and minds of your fellow Rangers, family and friends. “You have to go out but you don’t have to come back” is a Coast Guard motto we learned as recruits- Service to others above self. Saddened by your loss but grateful for your character and life. May those you served alongside you know God’s peace as they mourn.

End of Watch Sunday, October 6, 2024.



Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
