Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Thank you for your selfless 20 years of distinguished and dedicated service to your community Deputy Sheriff Ignacio "Dan" Diaz. Such a terrible day when we lost so many years of combined service and knowledge in a collision that could have been prevented. The next generation of motorcycle cops are now cheated of valuable nuances.

Rest easy Ignacio, rev that bike and ride into those beautiful sunsets. Your tour has been completed and you have left behind your legacy. Your name will be spoken outloud and you will never be forgotten. Prayers for your families of Blood and Blue and for all of the others who came to know and love you.
