Deputy Loren Y. Vasquez

On October 31, 2018, on only her third night of solo patrol, Deputy Sheriff Loren Y. Vasquez, 23, of Brookshire, Texas, passed away while responding to a high-priority water rescue during severe storms.

Loren was born on March 2, 1995, in Reynosa, Mexico, the daughter of Adalberto and Blanca (Diosdado) Vasquez. After immigrating to the United States, Loren’s parents settled in the small town of Brookshire, Texas where she graduated from Royal High School, Class of 2013.
