An unidentified speaker on the Senate floor asked colleagues to pause to remember Deputy Christopher Ohlmeyer, a motorcycle officer who was killed after being struck from behind by a car while serving during a funeral procession.
The speaker said Ohlmeyer "was a husband, a father, and a friend" and that "in his final moment, he was serving someone else." The speaker told the chamber that the deputy's death "will be felt by his family, his fellow officers, and our entire state" and asked members to pray for the family and remember his service.
According to the remarks, Deputy Ohlmeyer was struck while performing motorcycle duties related to a funeral procession and was hit by a car from behind. The speaker said those who did not have family were invited to be part of the deputy's community and emphasized Ohlmeyer's commitment to service. The speaker asked the presiding officer to "pause for a moment to remember Deputy Ohlmeyer" and then yielded.
No legislative action, vote or formal motion was recorded in the transcript excerpt; the remarks were a floor recognition and request for a moment of remembrance.
