Dustin Funderburg is a devoted Deputy, husband, father, and friend who has always put his community and loved ones first. On Wednesday, April 8th, 2026, while on duty, Dusty was involved in a devastating car accident when his vehicle collided head-on with a propane truck. The impact left him with a fractured C7 vertebra, a severe separation and laceration on his head, and multiple other injuries. As the main provider for his family, Dusty now faces an uncertain road to recovery, and it's unclear how long he will be unable to work.
Throughout his life, Dusty has shown unwavering commitment to serving and protecting those around him. Dusty serves on the Shasta County SWAT and Dive teams and spends his time off from the department serving as a LVN for hospice care.
Now, as he and his family navigate the challenges of healing from this traumatic incident, they need our support more than ever. The funds raised will go directly toward covering living expenses, ensuring that Dusty's family can focus on his recovery without the added stress of financial hardship.
Please consider helping Dusty and his loved ones during this difficult time. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Let's come together as a community to show our gratitude for Dusty's service and help his family heal.
