Kassy Kugler (now Kassy Alia), member of the University of South Carolina swim team through 2009, lost her husband in the line of duty on Wednesday morning in Forest Acres, S.C. Greg Alia, 32, was shot to death after responding to a report of a suspicious person at a local mall. Alia was a seven-year veteran of the Forest Acres Police Department and a beloved member of the Forest Acres community.

From Kassy (via Facebook) to everyone who has donated to the Greg Alia Memorial Fund:

“My friends, where do I begin to show my gratitude and appreciation for the outpouring of love and support shown today? It may take time but I plan on thanking each one of you as I can. Thank you.

My husband was kind. He was warm. He was hilarious. He was patient. He was forgiving. He was loyal. He was just. He was honest. He was anything and everything you could hope to find in one single person. He was my everything.

How lucky I am to have had the past seven years with this man and how lucky he was to have known Sal for 6 whole months.

The contributions on the gofundme account are breathtaking. How proud my husband would be of all of the good and generosity being shown to support Sal and I.

To help support Kassy and their six-month-old son, Sal, during this difficult time please visit the Greg Alia Memorial Fund page.
