DEPUTY JUSTIN DEROSIER MEMORIAL FUND

Sheriff Brad Thurman and Cowlitz County, in partnership with U.S. Bank, have opened a donation account for the Deputy Justin Derosier Memorial Fund.  To best serve the DeRosier’s, permission was received from the family to establish this donation account which protects the family from unintended tax liabilities.  Tax liability to the family can occur if donations are not made through proper channels. 

This fund will be used to help cover Memorial expenses.  If there are any donations remaining after the Memorial costs are covered, those remaining funds will go directly to the DeRosier family.

For anyone wishing to donate, the U.S. Bank account information is:

Account Name:  Deputy Justin DeRosier Memorial Fund

Account Number:  153569437830

Routing Number:  125000105
