Groves, Daniel H.
1967 - 2019

Corporal Daniel Howard Groves, Age 52 of Johnstown, Colorado, youngest son of Howard and Eileen Groves of Orland Park, Illinois, passed away following an accident that claimed his life in the line of duty on March 13th 2019. He is survived by his parents; his partner of more than two years, Eddie Gomez; and his siblings, Jeffery, Jane, Peggy, and Donna; their spouses; and a loving extended family of nieces and nephews. A lifelong call to service led him to fulfilling his dream of becoming a police officer by joining the Colorado State Patrol in 2007. Prior to his career with CSP, he had a career in the technology services industry at Harris Associates in Chicago, Illinois. A kind and spiritual man, he will be fondly remembered by all as a man with an infinite capacity to love, and a genuine desire to protect and serve. While his watch has ended, may all take comfort in knowing he is now watching over us. Funeral Service will be Thursday, March 21st 2019, 10:00am at LifeBridge Church, 10345 Ute Hwy, Longmont.

Dan was a wonderful, funny and kind man. I worked with him at Harris Associates for nearly 10 years. He followed his dream when he left Harris and I admired that. I enjoyed keeping up on him on FB and will miss his thought provoking posts. Many prayers for his partner, parents, family and many, many friends.

I worked with Dan for many years at Harris Associates. He was a great guy and fun to be around. I remember how happy he was to move to Colorado and begin his career in enforcement. I extend my deepest sympathy to Dan's partner, family and friends on this tragic loss.

I received a ticket a few days ago, for failing to move over in my lane, while a Trooper worked on the soft shoulder giving a citation. I was not speeding, but I was driving distracted as a relative was on the phone to me. I saw the officer, and never realized I should have moved over. A young trooper stopped me, and I didn't even realize why I was being stopped. He explained the law, and also mentioned Officer Groves. I had heard of Officer Groves death, and I was so sad that something I just did could have caused the same result to another officer. It was a lesson quickly learned. I will never let that happen again. I prayed for officer Groves and his family that evening. I have lost loved ones, and my heart aches for his family. I paid my ticket gladly, and will make a donation to the fallen officers fund. Rest in Peace Officer Groves. As a mother myself, my heart goes out to your Mother and family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. It was a blessing to know Dan during our days together at St. Norbert's in DePere Wisconsin. He was an exceptional person and had an amazing spirit. Dan will be missed but his memory of good works gives us all solace.

Dan was a very kind and generous person. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and worked hard at whatever he did. It is a sheer tradgedy that he was taken while working at the job of his dreams. He had a truly remarkable spirit and will be greatly missed by all those that knew him.

I was very lucky to work closely with Dan for 5 years...he was a fixture on our team and had an infectious sense of humor. Everyone loved him.

God will shine light on his soul in heaven.

I worked with Dan all of his years at Harris Associates. He was a kind friend and colleague who would do anything to help. He was missed when he left and I'm sure will be greatly missed now by his family & friends. So tragic. My sympathy to Dan's partner and family. Sincerely, Carol Zeng
