Sgt Steve Perez, 60, a 34-year veteran of the Houston Police Department, perished Sunday when his patrol car sank in the floodwaters of Tropical Storm Harvey. RIP.

Official said Perez denied his family's request to stay home rather than look for detours to the station. He told them, "I've got work to do" before leaving the house.

Perez tried to get to the station to help the storm-ridden community for two and a half hours, took a wrong turn, and then could not escape from his vehicle.

Search and rescue crews were able to recover Perez's body from his flooded vehicle.

Sgt Perez is described as one of the sweetest men on the force. He leaves behind a wife, two grown children, and many friends.
