Gary L. Grow.
Officer Grow was killed in an aircraft accident when the Cessna 172 he was piloting collided with another aircraft in midair. Officer Grow was a mile north of the Madera Airport en route to pick up another officer when his plane collided with another. The wreckage landed around 23783 Avenue 17 in Madera. The plane was leased to the CHP in order to conduct studies over U.S. Highway 99. Officer Grow was a United States Army Korean War veteran and had served with the California Highway Patrol for four years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Officer Grow gave the California Highway Patrol 4 years.
Thank you for your service to the people of California, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
