America's greatest Heroes are those who put their personal lives on hold as they protect others, either through military service or as a first responder or, in some cases, as both. So many times during our conversations with deployed troops, we have found that many wear more than one hat and often the hats they wear all point in the same direction – that of helping other people in one way or another.

Deputy Sheriff Ian Michael Deutch shall remain a Hero in Nevada and in the USA. So many American hearts are heavy with sorrow for the Deutch family & friends and our prayers are filled with thoughts for their comfort and well being. May God be with you.

GOVERNOR OFFERS CONDOLENCES AND PRAYERS TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF NYE COUNTY SHERIFF DEPUTY KILLED WHILE ON DUTY

(Carson City, Nevada) – Governor Jim Gibbons today offered condolences on his behalf and on behalf of the people of the State of Nevada to the family, friends and colleagues of Nye County Sheriff Deputy Ian M. Deutch. Deputy Deutch was killed during a brief gun fight with a crime suspect in Pahrump, Nevada on Monday night. Deutch had just returned to work with the Nye County Sheriff’s Office after serving a military tour in Afghanistan. He was a Staff Sergeant in the Nevada National Guard 221st Cavalry based in Las Vegas and had received numerous awards for his military service.

“This is a tragic reminder of how fragile life can be,” Governor Gibbons said, “Deputy Deutch is a true hero. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to his family during this time of deep grief.”

Governor Gibbons has ordered state flags lowered to half-staff this Saturday in honor of Deputy Deutch’s funeral services.
