Photo courtesy Everett PD<\/p><\/div>On the afternoon of March 25th of this year, Officer Dan Rocha went to his local Starbucks at 1010 North Broadway Ave. This was his Starbucks; he knew the partners beyond just their names, knowing their lives, sharing in their successes, and was part of their Starbucks family. In return, they knew Dan\u2019s go-to order, his smile, and how he was always his authentic self.<\/p>\n

Shortly after getting his coffee that day, he was tragically killed in the parking lot while investigating a suspicious circumstance. Today, on National Peace Officer Memorial Day, the partners at Dan\u2019s favorite Starbucks shut down the store to take time to honor him as an Officer and a key part of the community.<\/p>\n

They welcomed members from the Everett Police Department and Dan\u2019s family to dedicate the store to his memory.<\/p>\n

Thank you Starbucks, the partners, and managers for the heartfelt dedication and your support in honoring Officer Dan Rocha.<\/p>\n
