TOPEKA ( KSNT ) – On Thursday, various law enforcement agencies in Topeka honored those lost.
The Capitol hosted a candlelight vigil Thursday in memory of law enforcement officers. This was part of National Police Week and National Peace Officers’ Memorial Day. The Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office gathered to honor late deputy Gregory Stubbs.
Stubbs, 34, died of a heart attack on June 29, 1998 during a drug raid, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page. While on assignment, Stubbs told his fellow law enforcement officers that he was feeling unwell. He was later found in his patrol car after suffering a heart attack.
A passer-by saw Stubbs slumped over his steering wheel and called for help. Stubbs was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. On August 30th, 1999, the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Advisory Committee voted to place Deputy Stubbs on the Kansas Law Enforcement Memorial.
Stubbs participated in various drug raids around Topeka. In 1997, he was photographed with Deputies Wally Long and John Schrock standing with 105 pounds of meth they had seized.
Stubbs was born in Kansas City, Missouri on December 19th, 1963 to Janet and Dr. David Stubbs. Stubbs had two brothers, David and Bruce. The boys enjoyed playing “Big Valley” an American western drama television series. Stubbs and the love of his life, Teresa, had four daughters: Krystal, Kyla, Kerri, and Kourtney.
“Greg was so very proud of his family,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook.
