Today, we mourn the tragic loss of Shaid DePalma, whose dedicated service to the community was overshadowed by the unseen battles he faced. Despite his unwavering commitment to protecting and serving, the weight of his experiences became too heavy to bear, leading to his heartbreaking decision. His absence leaves a profound void not only within the ranks of his fellow deputies but also in the hearts of his family, who now grapple with the pain of loss and unanswered questions. As we remember Shaid, let us honor his sacrifices and the countless hours he devoted to keeping us safe. It is crucial that we come together to support his family and advocate for mental health resources, ensuring that no officer feels alone in their struggles. His legacy will remind us of the importance of compassion, understanding, and the need to prioritize mental well-being in our law enforcement community.  Shaid was a father of five children and husband to his loving wife. The DePalma family is now without a father to help guide them in life as well as provide for the family. As the family navigates these hard times, any amount of donation will assist them in so many ways.
