Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Rest in Peace brother Ranger. Your incredible sacrifice wasn't in vain, and you live on not only through your family, but the family that you saved, and the countless people that you no doubt touched throughout your career.

Your lifetime of service and dedication to protecting the outdoors is something I strive to live up to. Heaven must have needed a Ranger; we'll continue the patrol from here.

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.
