Marshall Rader was my grandfather. He died before I was even born. My mother has now passed as well. I’ve always been told he died in the line of duty on a domestic disturbance call. Although at one point in his career he did have a car accident, that was not the cause of death. I’ll look into getting this corrected. Rest in peace. I’ll meet you one day. Thank you for your service along with many others.
