SWAT Deputy Michael Milmerstadt fatal brain injury

Statement from Deputy Milmerstadt’s family
 
We want to thank everyone for the outpouring of prayers, support and love you have shown us.
 
We are devastated that despite all of our prayers, nothing could be done to save Mike.
 
Mike is an amazing, father, husband, son, friend and deputy. Nothing made him happier than being with his wife Melanie and their boys.
 
Mike loved his family, loved his work and his colleagues, and loved Mixed Martial Arts. His dedication to all of those things made him a great husband, father, deputy and fighter.
 
Mikes slogan for life was “Earn The Day” a phrase he used daily, one of his ways of earning his day was by completing intense CrossFit workouts.

We know he’s been fighting all week in the most important bout of his life. His departure leaves a painful void that can never be filled.
 
We want to thank Mike’s colleagues at the Orange County Sheriff’s Office for wrapping their arms around our entire family, and holding us tight as we made our way through this devastating journey.
 
We are so grateful to all of you who have contributed to the GoFundMe. Melanie and the kids will need all of that support as they attempt to move forward. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
