SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A housefire near Summit claimed the life of Cade Renville, son of law enforcement officer Steve Griffee and April Griffee.

A weekend housefire near Summit completely engulfed the house of Grant County Deputy Steve Griffee, leaving the family with nothing on top of the tragedy of losing a child.

If you would like to offer support, there is an account set up at First Bank and Trust in Milbank under Griffee’s name that money can be donated to.
