National forecast for Monday, July 27

Alameda County Sheriff’s Deputy Oscar Rocha loved his job so much that when he died Thursday night from COVID-19 complications, he had his badge in his hand as the sudden roar of a motorcycle honor guard outside his hospital room could be heard. A senior member of the sheriff’s office, Rocha worked with the department for 25 years, mostly at the Rene C. Davidson Courthouse in Oakland as a bailiff or at the security entrances to the courthouse and adjacent county administrative building. Kelly, who attended the police academy with Rocha, called him loyal and dependable. He was a friend, Kelly said, and a cigar and scotch aficionado. #RIP

HOUSTON -- A Harris County Constable's Office Precinct 5 deputy has died of COVID-19 after a two-month battle with the virus, authorities said Sunday. The wife of Deputy Mark Brown, 53, said he died around 11 p.m. Saturday at their home after spending about two months in intensive care at a hospital. He was allowed to return home Friday, she said. She detailed how the virus had impacted their family, including herself and their oldest son — all of whom tested positive. She said the three of them began feeling unwell in mid-May. Brown was hospitalized twice, the second time after his symptoms took a turn for the worst. Brown, a Houston native, worked 23 years as a law enforcement officer in Hempstead and for Spring Branch ISD. He joined the constable's office in 2017 and was most recently an investigative deputy in the Special Operations Division. #RIP
