Lieutenant Nathan Kaas of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office was tragically killed in an off-duty hunting accident on Sunday, October 12, 2025, near the Sheep Creek area of southern Idaho. While preparing to hunt mule deer, a rifle accidentally discharged and struck Lieutenant Kaas in the thigh, causing fatal blood loss before first responders could reach him.
Lieutenant Kaas began his law enforcement career in April 2000 when he joined the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office as a deputy. Over the course of 25 years, he rose through the ranks—serving as investigator and sergeant—before achieving the rank of Lieutenant and being assigned to the Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team.
Throughout his career, Lieutenant Kaas was known for his mentorship, strong faith, and commitment to service—not only to his fellow officers and the community, but also to his church. Colleagues described him as a protector in the truest sense and someone who embodied the motto “Service Above Self.”
He is survived by his wife and their three children, and by a wide circle of family, friends, and colleagues who are grieving his loss and honoring his legacy.

Honor Bound Spirits in San Diego, California, creates this commemorative bottle. The company is marine-owned and a friend to all first responders. The bottle is superior to other engravings. It is sandblasted, not just etched, and pays true honor to every fallen first responder it is created for.
The whiskey is first aged in new 53-gallon, medium-charred American oak barrels for up to 8 years. Then, it is rested in-barrel with Chilean Amburana oak staves. It creates a uniquely sweet, yet spicy bourbon whiskey. It has hints of gingerbread and fresh vanilla on the nose. There is a pronounced sweetness on the palate. It shows touches of oak, spice cake, nutmeg, and light brown sugar.
The bottles can be shipped across the United States except for the restricted states of Alaska, Massachusetts, Michigan, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Utah.
