Dhaliwal's family, including his wife and three young children, were there as his name was engraved outside the sheriff's Office.

"When they go to school, they'll be looked at different," his father Pyara Dhaliwal explained. "People will look at them that these are the sons and daughters of a hero, so they should be proud of that."

He said the family is finding strength in each other.

"We have his memories with us." Pyara Dhaliwal shares precious memories of his son, Deputy Sandeep Dhaliwal, and how the entire family is dealing with their loss.

"We are together, we are strong. We remember him all the time," said Pyara Dhaliwal. "I really feel it, which can never be the same, but I am proud that he left so much for me to live."
