Valence LeeWayne Pascal served in the U.S. Army for 3 years and 7 months. Valence served during the years of the Cold War and Gulf War.
Deputy Sheriff Val Pascal succumbed to a gunshot wound he received from a man he had arrested for failing to appear in court on a DUI charge in Leeds, North Dakota. At 2 p.m., Deputy Pascal placed the subject, whom he knew well, in the back of his patrol car. He had taken his place behind the wheel when the suspect shot him in the back of the head with a homemade .22 caliber pistol. The suspect then shot and killed himself. The suspect had no prior record and had never been a threat to the community. Deputy Pascal died at St. Luke's Hospital in Fargo the next morning. Deputy Pascal was a United States Army veteran and had served with the Benson County Sheriff's Office for two 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.
Deputy Sheriff Pascal served with the Benson County Sheriff's Department.
Thank you for your service to the Minnewaukan community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
