The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office has announced a memorial service to honor Deputies Parker Perry and Mason Acheson, who lost their lives while serving the community and the Washington National Guard. The ceremony will be held at Numerica Veterans Arena on November 18, 2026.
Details of the service
According to the sheriff’s office, the event will include a procession and a tribute to each deputy’s career. While the exact start time and procession route have not yet been released, the office says families, friends, members of the Washington Army National Guard, law‑enforcement partners and other first responders will receive reserved seating.
Once those seats are allocated, the public will be welcome to attend. The sheriff’s office encourages community members to line the route as a sign of respect for the deputies’ dedication to their families, faith, community, country, and fellow team members.
Supporting the families
The department also asks those who wish to contribute to consider donating to the Sheriff Community Oriented Policing Effort (S.C.O.P.E.). Contributions will help support the families of Deputies Perry and Acheson during this difficult time.
“Each lived their lives in service to their families, faith, community, country, and team members,” the announcement read, underscoring the deep ties these officers had with the people they protected.
Community response
Local residents and civic groups have already expressed their intention to attend and to honor the fallen deputies. The memorial service is expected to draw a broad cross‑section of Spokane County citizens, reflecting the strong bond between law‑enforcement and the community they serve.
Spokane County officials reaffirm their commitment to supporting the families of fallen officers and to maintaining the high standards of service that Deputies Perry and Acheson exemplified.
