KENT COUNTY, Mich. — Funeral arrangements have been made for a Kent County Sheriff’s deputy who passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday morning.

Paul Barquist, 46, suffered a heart attack while getting ready for his patrol shift. The newlywed had just walked down the aisle in June, becoming a step-father and grandfather.

Barquist’s funeral will take place on Saturday February 7, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at Saint Pius X Catholic Parish in Grandville.

Barquist was not only a U.S. military veteran, but also served 18 years with the Kent County Sheriff’s Department.
