This horrible notice finds me very upset, as I was a 26 year motor officer with CHP. These three heroes were doing what they loved to do and were killed doing what they loved to do but only because of negligence. This was not an accident, it was an act of driver error. These deputies will forever be remembers as heroes on two wheels. Deputy Paez will now provide protective service detail to our god all mighty. God bless deputy Paez, his personal family as well as his family in uniform

Luis and I grew up together, hanging out at the spillway, camping and doing all kinds of other crazy childhood "things". We eventually ended up working for the PBSO and took different paths. Luis was always fun to hang out with and he was always upbeat and energetic. To everyone that was fortunate to spend time with him, I feel your loss and will pray for all of his friends and family. Luis, you will be missed.
