Memorial Fund Established For Family Of Officer Dan Rocha

Editor’s Update: This afternoon the City of Everett provided some clarification on the Memorial Fund: The city is covering as much of the memorial cost as legally possible, but there are some costs government entities are not allowed to spend public funds on. That is where the private sector can be a support. The City is working to ensure we can respect the family’s wishes to remember and honor the life of Officer Dan Rocha. Private sector donations will directly support Officer Rocha’s family as well as cover a portion of the memorial the city is not legally able to fund.

The City of Everett, Washington has established a Memorial Fund to honor Officer Dan Rocha and support his family.

Officer Rocha was killed in the line of duty on Friday and leaves behind a wife and two sons.

According to Everett Police, the money donated by the public will be used toward expenses of the Memorial Service with 100% of the remaining funds directed to his widow and sons.
