Detective to present diploma to toddler he saved 15 years ago

  • Detective Jeff Sheaman, who saved 3-year-old David Lew from a freezing storm on a boat in Wyoming in 2010, will present Lew his high school diploma on May 27.
  • The rescue happened due to Lew being stranded during freezing rain and dropping temperatures at Flaming Gorge, requiring Sheaman's intervention to save his life.
  • Lew, now almost 18 and graduating from Rock Springs High School, asked Sheaman to attend and hand him his diploma, highlighting their lifelong bond as Sheaman retires after over 20 years.
  • Lew said, "I just told him who I was and that I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him," a statement reported to have brought the retiring officer to tears.
  • Sheaman expressed he can retire happy picturing Lew graduating, and at least a few sheriff's office officials plan to attend the ceremony in support of this moving story.
