Daniel Lobo, Jr.
“Danny was a dedicated member of our Department for eleven years. Danny was quick-witted and had a great sense of humor, always displaying a positive outlook on life. ”
Deputy Daniel Jess Lobo Jr. was killed in the line of duty on October 11, 2005, when a car exited a driveway directly in front of Danny’s motorcycle. Danny was unable to avoid the collision and was thrown from his motorcycle, and later succumbed to his injuries.
Danny joined the department in 1994 and was assigned to the Rancho Cucamonga Station in 1998. He is survived by his wife, Jennifer; three daughters, Kiley, Kadie, and Maddison; and his parents, Daniel Lobo Sr. and Gloria Lobo.
On October 11, 2016, a portion of Interstate 15 from Interstate 210 to Sierra Avenuewas dedicated as “Sheriff’s Deputies Ronald Wayne Ives and Daniel Jess Lobo, Jr., Memorial Highway.”
“This highway dedication is a tribute to Ron and Danny and every law enforcement officer with us today. They and their families should never doubt our appreciation and admiration for the service and sacrifice given by members of the law enforcement family. The signs will remind motorists of the sacrifice Ron and Danny made years ago.”
In this episode of On The Road, Vice President Alisha Rosa joins Lt. Kari Klaus of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and retired San Bernardino Police Officer Melissa Flint on a grueling 250+ mile bike ride from Somerset, New Jersey, to the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C.
They rode in honor of the fallen—marking the 20-year End of Watch anniversary of Deputies Danny Lobo Jr. and Greg Gariepy, both killed in the line of duty in 2005.
For Alisha Rosa, it was a deeply personal journey to honor her friend Danny Lobo Jr., as well as his wife and daughter, whose strength and legacy continue to inspire.
For Lt. Kari Klaus, the ride paid tribute to Deputy Ron Ives, who first encouraged her to start cycling shortly after 9/11.
“It kind of hits you all at once,” said Lt. Klaus. “You ride through the memorial and see everybody there, and you just imagine what every family at that memorial has been through. We rode for them.”
Through pain, fatigue, and emotion, this ride during Peace Officer Memorial Week served as a moving tribute to the legacy of all of our fallen—and a reminder that their memory still rides with us.
Shortly after the countywide peace officer memorial in May 2023, SEBA joined members of the Sheriff's Honor Guard as they embarked on a mission across the county. Their goal? To draw attention to specific monuments dedicated to their fallen brothers.
