TREMONTON, Utah — A local carpenter is using his art to honor heroes who lost their lives in the line of duty.

At the funerals of Tremonton-Garland Police Sgt Lee Sorensen and Officer Eric Estrada, wooden badges will sit next to their caskets, thanks to Nate Eye with 710 Custom Woodwork .

For almost 10 years now, Eye has been making badges for fallen officers.

"When I see it in the news, I know what my job is.” Even if it’s a job that breaks his heart. "Sometimes the call is, he's not going to make it, and then I wake up early, and start the process. It takes a lot of work, to show up to these funerals and have them ready,” explained Eye.

It was no different when he heard about two police officers who were killed when responding to a domestic violence call in Tremonton on August 17.
