Deputy Pace succumbed to injuries on December 29, 1998, sustained in an automobile accident six days before. He was returning home in his patrol car at the end of his shift when a tractor trailer pulled across the highway, blocking most of the lanes of traffic. Deputy Pace swerved to avoid a collision, but struck the rear portion of the trailer, shearing off the top of his patrol car.

Deputy Pace had served with the agency for 3 years. He is survived by his wife and two children.
