Honoring Shane DeGraffenreid with a Memorial Bench

We are reaching out to friends, family, and the community to help honor the life and legacy of Shane DeGraffenreid by raising funds for a memorial bench in his name placed in a peaceful state park where many can come for reflection and remembrance to a place he once protected.

Shane was more than a friend—he was family to so many of us. A devoted father of five, he lived his life with integrity, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. As a dedicated law enforcement officer, Shane didn’t just wear the badge—he lived by the values it stood for. He served with heart, always striving to protect and uplift his community. Even after stepping away from law enforcement due to medical reasons, his impact never faded.

Shane’s unexpected passing left a hole in the lives of all who knew him, but we want to ensure his memory lives on. This bench will serve as a lasting tribute—a place where his family, friends, and those he inspired can reflect and remember the incredible person he was.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will bring us closer to making this tribute a reality. If you’d like to donate or help in any way, please reach out or follow the donation link below.

Let’s come together to honor Shane’s legacy and the love he shared with his family, friends, and community. Thank you for your support.
