1971, Officer Quirk encountered three pedestrians on the
shoulder of SR 5 and pursued them on foot. When backup arrived,
the backup officer found Officer Quirk walking all three
subjects back to his patrol car. After his shift ended and he
returned home, Officer Quirk experienced chest pains and
suffered a fatal heart attack. He was 49-years old. His wife
and five children survived him. One of his children, Ken, is
now an officer with the Storey County, Nevada Sheriff's
Department and carries his father's handcuffs and wears his
father's belt buckle while on duty.
This resolution designates the approximately two-mile portion of
SR 5 from the Sunset Hills Drive overcrossing to the Nine Mile
Hill overcrossing in the County of Tehama as the CHP Officer
Robert J. Quirk Memorial Highway. The resolution further
requests that the Department of Transportation erect appropriate
signs upon receiving donations from non-state sources to cover
the costs.
