Funeral in Elk Grove Thursday for sheriff's deputy

Canfield Larry.jpg From Kim Minugh:

A funeral service for the Sacramento County Sheriff's deputy killed in a motorcycle accident last week has been scheduled for Thursday morning in Elk Grove.

Larry Canfield's memorial service will begin at 10 a.m. at the First Baptist Church of Elk Grove, 8939 E. Stockton Blvd. The public is invited to attend.

A processional will follow, leading from the church to Galt Arno Cemetery, 14180 Joy Drive. Details of that processional, and involved road closures, have not yet been determined by sheriff's officials.

There also will be a law enforcement reception after the graveside services at Littleton Community Center, 410 Civic Drive in Galt, but it is not open to the public.

On Wednesday, a viewing will be held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the East Lawn Elk Grove Memorial Park, 9189 East Stockton Blvd.

Canfield (top photo), a 13-year veteran of the sheriff's department and son of a retired sheriff's sergeant, died Wednesday afternoon after his motorcycle collided with a car on Coloma Road, near Sierra Madre Court, in Rancho Cordova.

Since 2004, Canfield had been assigned to the Rancho Cordova Police Department's motorcycle unit, and he had been enforcing traffic laws on Coloma Road at the time of his accident. The California Highway Patrol's investigation continues, but preliminary findings show the collision was an accident.

The deputy is survived by his wife, Michelle, and sons Tyler, 12, and Bryce, 10.

A Larry Canfield Memorial Fund has been set up through Exchange Bank, which has two branches in the area: 2320 Sunset Blvd., Suite 100, Rocklin; and 1420 Rocky Ridge Drive, Suite 190, Roseville. Checks can be delivered in person or mailed. The account number is 1205001934.
