The family of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer, in partnership with the American Red Cross, presents the Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer Memorial Blood Drive on Jan. 29.

“Dedicated to giving back to his community, Deputy Clinkunbroomer, nicknamed Clink by his fellow officers, was unwaveringly committed to his family and work,” said a news release from the Red Cross. ‘Honoring a legacy of service, his family urges community members to participate in the Battle of the Badges blood drive to bolster the community’s blood supply and help save lives.”
“Our son loved to help others and give back to his community as a Deputy Sheriff,” Kim Clinkunbroomer, Deputy Clinkunbroomer’s mother, said in the release. “I can’t get Ryan back, but I can give back and honor his legacy of helping his community.”
