Statement from the Lenehan Family:<\/span><\/pre>\n
\u201cOur family is deeply heartbroken and devastated by the tragic loss of our husband, father, son and brother. Ty is survived by his wife, Jessica, two children Austin and Sydney, his parents and three siblings. Ty was a bright light of personality in our family. His life outside of being a committed officer to the Elk Grove community was dedicated to serving his family and his church community. Ty performed innumerable acts of charity and kindness and blessed many lives with his personality, love and humility.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cWhile we are deeply saddened as we mourn the loss of such a great person, we have been lifted by the support from the Elk Grove Police Department, the Sacramento Police Department, the Governor, and our Sacramento community. We appreciate the many condolences, the outpouring of love, and the support from the community at large. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the first responders and hospital staff who immediately attended to Ty\u2019s injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n
Melanie Clarke<\/span><\/pre>\n
Thank you for all you have done. I am Ty\u2019s sister and our whole family is grateful to your church for being support for Ty the past few years. We also appreciate the offer of support for Jessica and the kids in the future. We know it will take a village to help them and we hope they continue to have strong ties with you all. Thank you for your blessing in our lives.<\/div>\n

Friday morning, January 21st, Ty Lenehan sadly and suddenly went to be with the Lord in the line of duty.<\/strong> A newer believer and member of our church , Ty was the officer of the Elk Grove Police Department in the fatal motorcycle collision on highway 99.\u00a0Pray that God would comfort his wife Jessica and their two kids aged 15 and 13. This hits me hard as I have two kids the same age as his kids, and I am just two years older than Ty. Pray for our church family as we minister to this family in these days ahead, and for God’s comfort and grace.<\/p>\n
Many of us knew Ty in our church family through his faithful service and involvement in various small groups and ministries of our church. He was known for his big heart for the Lord and for his family, and of course, for his larger than life smile. He was also one of our greeters on Sunday morning and his grin at the front door of our church is already deeply missed. I had the blessing of being in a small group of men with him that met every other Tuesday, and several men were even closer with Ty in other groups and prayer gatherings the last 2 years. Ty served with our security team and with the outreach team where he was a joyful evangelist, wanting to share his faith.<\/p>\n
He wanted people\u00a0to know his Lord as their Savior more than anything. He was ready to meet his God, and based on God’s Word, he’s in heaven, not based on being a good person (as he knew he wasn’t good enough), but by the good news of the gospel that saves us and changes believers from their sin (Romans 3:10-12<\/a>,\u00a010:9-10<\/a>,\u00a0Ephesians 2:1-10<\/a>). This is the hope he had and we have as we share his faith in Christ. He wanted unsaved friends or family to know his and their only hope for heaven is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone and what He did on the cross for them.<\/p>\n
This is what he wrote as part of his membership process in joining our church in 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n
