In Memory of Austin Ramsey

This week El Dorado County lost one of its finest with the passing of Deputy Austin Ramsey. Austin was 25 years old, a former Army Ranger, and combat veteran who served in Afghanistan. He was also a loving son, wonderful brother, and devoted friend to so many. He had recently started his career with the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office and was fulfilling a lifelong goal of working in law enforcement, following in his father's footsteps. Sadly Austin's life of service was cut short. All our hearts are with Joe, Stephanie, Cole, Garrett, and Natalie as they do their best to navigate the devastating loss of such an outstanding young man.

 

For those who would like to help, donations are being accepted to help the Ramsey's cover any funeral expenses. All proceeds exceeding these expenses will be donated in Austin's name to "22 Until Valhalla", a nonprofit organization committed to the prevention of veteran suicide.

Thrive with 10-35 is a non-profit dedicated to provide information, education; support and practical assistance to help law enforcement families successfully survive and thrive during the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office employee’s law enforcement career and beyond.  We are happy to support the Ramsey family through this difficult time.
