This year I am riding for Sergeant Linden (Beau) Raimer.  He served with St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana for 10 years.  On June 13, 2007 Sergeant Linden "Beau" Raimer was killed when a pine tree that had been struck by lightning hit his patrol car.

Sergeant Raimer and another deputy were in the funeral procession for Deputy Sheriff Hilery A. Mayo Jr., when the accident happened. The procession was moving through Covington when the violent thunderstorm knocked down numerous trees from Slidell to Covington. A large pine tree hit their patrol car on 21st Avenue, crushing the top of the vehicle. The other deputy was taken to St. Tammany Parish Hospital with serious injuries.

Sergeant Raimer had served with the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office since June 17, 1997.
