SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - Funeral services to honor the memory and sacrifice of Sacramento County Deputy Sheriff Adam Gibson who was killed in the line of duty on Monday, January 18, 2021, in Sacramento, California are as follows.

Bayside Church Adventure Campus

It’s customary for law enforcement to honor an officer who dies in the line of duty with a funeral that includes the community they served.  COVID-19 mass gathering restrictions are curtailing this aspect; the services will not be open to the general public.  Limited attendance is reserved for law enforcement only.  A law enforcement procession will immediately follow the service and will terminate at East Lawn located on Greenback Lane for a private internment.  We encourage the community to show their unwavering support by lining the sidewalks of the procession route (See Below).  In lieu of a traditional guest book, a special email address has been created to share your condolences, thoughts, pictures and stories:

The memorial services are expected to conclude at approximately 1:15 P.M. The procession will be led by Motor Officers from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.

The procession will leave the church through the main exit, turn left onto Stanford Ranch Road, then turn left onto eastbound Highway 65 and transition to westbound Interstate 80. The outside agency procession will continue westbound on Interstate 80 past Greenback Lane and will disperse shortly thereafter.

The procession carrying Deputy Gibson and his family will take the Greenback Lane/Elkhorn Boulevard exit, make a left turn to eastbound Greenback Lane, and then a left turn to eastbound Verner Avenue. From Verner Avenue, the procession will be led onto the East Lawn Memorial grounds to the location of the private graveside service.

Traffic delays should be expected during the procession. A map of the procession route is provided on the next page for your reference.
