A local Sheriff who grew up in the community and committed his
career to helping the youth of his county, Sheriff Don Eustice
served his entire law enforcement career in Waseca County after
serving our country in the United States Navy from 1946 to
1948. In a time in the 70's where being Sheriff involved the
entire family, Don's family tells the stories of growing up
Sheriffs' sons and daughters. Sheriff Eustice, who actually
was usually unarmed, was loved in this community and had always
been able to talk down every situation - except this time.
While trying to help someone struggling who he'd known his entire
life, his life was violently cut short leaving behind a stunned
community, a beloved wife, and 9 children - all left to
figure out how to move on without their beloved Sheriff, husband,
and father. See more pictures about this hero on his
page at www.officerdownmemorialpodcast.com/don-eustice.
