For immediate release: May 15, 2024
The Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office invites the public to the dedication of a memorial highway in Bridger Canyon to commemorate a deputy lost in the line of duty in 2019.
The 2023 Montana Legislature established the Jacob Allmendinger Memorial Highway, which is on Bridger Canyon Drive (MT Hwy 86) from its intersection with Fairy Lake Road to its intersection with Brackett Creek Road.
A public dedication of the memorial highway will take place on Monday, May 20 at 11:30 AM at the intersection of Bridger Canyon Drive and Fairy Lake Road.
Deputy Allmendinger was killed in the line of duty on Oct. 19, 2019 in a tragic motor vehicle accident while responding to a call for assistance near Fairy Lake.
Allmendinger had been with the sheriff’s office since 2017. Prior to that, he worked as a 911 dispatcher with Gallatin County 911 for seven years and volunteered with Gallatin County Sheriff Search and Rescue for eight years.
Allmendinger left behind his wife Monica, their three children, and numerous family and friends.
“Deputy Allmendinger’s courage, dedication, and sacrifice will forever be remembered as we dedicate this highway in his honor,” said Gallatin County Sheriff Dan Springer. “Let Jake’s memory also serve as a chance to reflect on the sacrifices made by law enforcement across our nation, reminding us of their commitment to keep our communities safe.”
