In 1994, Daryl was hired, as a deputy sheriff, with the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, a job that Daryl loved for over 26 years. Daryl’s warm heart and cool head were a perfect fit for a career in law enforcement. He served his community with kindness and compassion every day on patrol. Year after year, Deputy Shuey signed up to serve in the busiest area of patrol in Parkland-Spanaway. It was not close to his home, but it was close to his heart. He believed that was where he was needed most.
In May 2006, Daryl married Karen and they later became the proud parents of two children, a daughter and a son. His family gave Daryl his greatest joy and inspiration.

Speed was his thing.
