THREE RIVERS, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Three Rivers community, where Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Deputy Ryan Proxmire hailed from, is grieving and remembering the fallen deputy.
Proxmire graduated from Three Rivers High School in 1999. He grew up there and continued living there with his wife and children even after beginning his work with the Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s office.
Three Rivers Detective Sgt. Sam Smallcombe and Chief Thomas Bringman spoke to WWMT and said they had visited with Proxmire’s wife Monday morning to offer their condolences. Smallcombe said he had known Proxmire since they were children when they participated in a local Boy Scouts program together.
Deputy Proxmire died from injuries sustained after he was shot by a suspect during a police chase Saturday night near Galesburg. Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced in the next few days
