Memorial service set for officer killed in suspected DUI crash.

Last week, the Golden community lost one of their own in a tragic accident on Colorado 58. Officer Evan Dunn, only 33 years old, was killed while responding to a crash. His partner, Officer Bethany Grusing, was also seriously injured. The news of this devastating loss spread quickly and left the community in shock and mourning.

To honor Officer Dunn's service and sacrifice, a private memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday at the Mission Hills Church in Littleton. The service is organized by the Colorado Fallen Hero Foundation, who released a statement expressing their condolences to the family and the Golden Police Department. While the community has shown an outpouring of support, the service will be reserved for family and close friends only.

In preparation for the funeral procession, West County Line Road will be closed from Lucent Boulevard to South Elati Street starting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday. The Golden Police Department also announced that traffic will be restricted on roads around the church. For those who wish to show their support for Officer Dunn's family, they can stand along the County Line closure or at the Golden Police Department Memorial.

The Colorado Army National Guard will be conducting a special tribute to Officer Dunn by flying a Black Hawk helicopter over the area of Mission Hills Church before the service. As a precaution, drones will not be allowed to fly in the area.

For community members who would like to leave notes or other tokens of support for Officer Dunn's family and the Golden Police Department, a patrol car will be parked outside of Golden City Hall. Additionally, monetary donations can be made online through the Colorado Fallen Hero Foundation.

The driver responsible for the crash, 43-year-old Stephen Geer, was arrested and held overnight. Police records show that Geer is being investigated for vehicular homicide and vehicular assault. Although he has not yet been charged in Colorado court, he is set to appear in court on Thursday for a filing of charges hearing.

As the community continues to grieve and come to terms with this tragedy, we must also remember to honor and support those who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe. Officer Dunn will always be remembered as a hero who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
