PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. (WPTV) – After a devastating crash that killed three Florida deputies, a 9-year-old boy is offering his support by raising money with a lemonade and cookie stand.

Charlie Allsup, 9, wanted to help the family of Deputy Ignacio “Dan” Diaz, who was one of three motorcycle deputies with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office killed Nov. 21 when they were struck by a Jeep SUV while stopped on the road’s shoulder.

Diaz, who died of his injuries last Monday, joined the sheriff’s office in 2004 and had been with the agency’s motor unit for more than 10 years. A friend described him as a loving, joyful person who was passionate about helping others.
