Mpls Police Officer Dave Holm burned trying to save wife

Posted May 19, 2007

On New Years Eve day, 2006, Minneapolis Police Officer David Holm and his wife Melinda were involved in a very tragic car accident. Melinda was killed in the accident and Officer Holm was severely burned while trying to save her - he had to be pulled away.

David is STILL in the Hennepin County Burn Unit and is looking at years of rehabilitation. David's mother and father are currently caring for Mel and Dave's children, Lindee (8) and Dusty (10). Mel's other son, Taylor (16) is living with his father.

Friends and family are holding this event to raise money to help David during his recovery. It is uncertain at this time if he will be able to return to police work.

We need your help! Go here to find out more.

You're right. Amazing guy. He's posted here as a hero. I don't know him - but I love him. He did what he could - and that's all anyone can do. He did more...

That's my neighbor. He's doing way more better and seems like he's past this and moved on. He's a great guy. Lindee's my best friend...I remember the day when Lindee came over and we talked about this over. Now they're all different and changed now. Better and moved on to another part of life.

What a great person my brother in law David Holm is and I am proud and thankful to have him in my life. Even though my sister Mel did not make it through this horrible even, I am thankful to have a brother in law like David and I am so glad he was so persistent to live for his family.  Lastly, thank you to his Mom and Dad for all the support they provided during a very difficult time.
