Public memorial for Rigby reserve officer planned for Friday
Published at
RIGBY — The Rigby Police Department plans to hold a public law enforcement memorial for Reserve Officer William “Bill” Gray this Friday, Oct. 6 at Rigby High School.
The 43-year-old Rigby reserve police officer died Sept. 25 after spending two months in the University of Utah Burn Center. Gray was seriously burned in July following a head-on crash caused by a man in a pickup truck who was fleeing police on U.S. Highway 89 in Utah.
The Utah Highway Patrol escorted Gray’s body and two Rigby police units to the Utah/Idaho Border. From there, Idaho State Police and other agencies continued the escort until it came to an end at Eckersell Funeral Home on Main Street in Rigby.
The memorial will be held in the auditorium beginning at 10 a.m. and everyone is invited to attend.
