Sergio will be greatly missed by all of us. This was his first year to be able to volunteer and he jumped in with both feet helping clean up fields and helping with his son’s team. Sergio was a great Dad that showed up for kids. We are praying for his wife, children and whole family.
It is with great sadness that DPS announces the death of Texas Highway Patrol Trooper Sergio Romero.
Trooper Romero was attempting to conduct a traffic stop along US-287 near Childress, around 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17, when a truck-tractor semi-trailer pulled out in front of him, causing his patrol unit to collide with the vehicle. Trooper Romero died on scene.
Trooper Romero answered the call to serve each day with honor and remained steadfast in his commitment to protecting and serving Texans. The DPS family will never forget the ultimate sacrifice he made in service of this state.
