Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

With every passing day I realize how much I miss you. Here's a double click just for you buddy.
Thanks for being my friend.
I will never forget you.

Iron County Sheriff Deputy
Iron County S.O.

I am Officer Doug Browns proud daughter.

Ed,
I didn't know you very well but you were deffinetley an inspiration. Many people are greiving from your loss and how I find most helpful to mourn is to write;

You're gone now and we'll remorse,
but somehow we'll get through.
I don't doubt it'll be hard,
I'm sorry you were dealt the wrong card.
I know it was hard to leave you life
not to mention your beautiful wife.

You were a hero,
We won't forget how you helped us all.
You were a hero,
standing proud and standing tall!
You didn't need a crowd to be extraordinary,
without one you were happy and marry.
Always know you were a HERO!


Thank you Ed for being a great contribution to the Iron County Sherriffs office. I know my dad looks up to and my little brother......... And I do too. I am proud to be a family member of an employee of the Iron County Sherrifs Office. They are a great team! They are all like family, and your death has made me realize that I want to be a part of that. When I graduate from Canyon View High School I am going to go to San Fransisco University and study criminal justice and eventually go through the police academy. Thank you so much for inspiring me. THANK YOU ED! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!

Rest in peace brother.

Police Officer
Denver Police Department

While we mourn the tragic passing of our brother in uniform, we are reminded that each act of courage- large or small-is not what makes us Heroes, but makes us all Americans.

With every passing of a Fallen Officer we grow ever stronger with our dedication to serve. Thank you Deputy Dare for your example of our fiber. For we don't know how to say goodbye, we will see you in another day. As we look at the stars at night, we see the reflection of your badge.

God Bless your family & friends

Our prayers are with Ed, his family, friends, and co-workers. Enjoy your tour in Heaven brother...your shift in Hell is through.

Ed,
We miss you terribly, but when a friend sent this to us we felt comforted.
DEATH IS NOTHING AT ALL

I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you,
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.

Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes that we enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort,
Without the ghost of a shadow upon it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.

What is this death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
Somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.

All is well. by: Henry Scott Holland

I thank God for this officer. He will always remain in the hearts of his brothers and sisters throughout the world.

Eddie,
I think I speak for all of us at Jones Paint and Glass. We will miss you coming in, whether it be just to come and joke around with us there, or to actually get product to make a project of yours move along. Cindy, if you read these, please know that my prayers are with you. We here are saddened of your loss. As a Security Officer myself I know how it is to be in the line of duty. As of yet nothing has happened to me or my fellow officers. However I know that if something were to happen then we would have to cope with a lot of sorrow, but know that life goes on and you have to fulfill your duties. Only hope that each day you do a little better.
Eddie, may you forever be remembered here in Cedar City, UT and Iron County as a whole. May you forever remember us here and remember the good times you had with us here.
May God's blessings be upon Cindy and upon those that Eddie left behind. May we all remember him.

Edard Norman Dare;

("Special Ed")

I love you.

I miss ya big guy, thanks for giving us all you had!

Keep watch on us all will you?

DUDE Benson, Iron County Sheriff.

Sheriff
Iron County Sheriff's Office

Ed was the first person to call me and congratulate me when I got hired out of the jail. He was also the first person there the first time I called for back up. That was typical of how he was. He always was there to help anyone in need. When I worked in the jail and all hell was breaking loose Ed always gave me something to smile about. I love you man and I'll always miss having breakfast with you. Morning shifts will never be the same without your stories to get me going.

Deputy Nik Johnson
Iron County Sheriff's Office

What a tribute to such a special person! I truly feel privileged to have had you in my life. I will miss you. Thanks for all of your words of encouragement. I will never forget you.

Mary, Secretary
Iron County Sheriff's Office

Death is given to everyone born. The best we can hope for is not to die in disgrace. Ed Dare served his country, in the Navy, and he gave his life in service to the citizens of Iron County. We should thank God for people like Ed, that are willing to place themselves in harms way, to protect the rest of us. We should also thank God that we live in a country where law enforcement officers are honored as heroes, not feared as enemy of the people, as in police states. Ed Dare lived and died an American Hero.

Robert L. Garnett
Citizen of Iron County

Another fallen brother leaves to recieve his higher calling.
I truly believe God has a special place for cops. Godspeed Deputy Dare and may God be with your wife in her time of sorrow. I know you can be together again someday!

Detective Jerry Womack
Cedar City Police Department

As I am starting my career in Law Enforcement, its hard hearing about officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. May god look over Officer Dare's family and Department. Thank you for your many years of service being a hero.

Utah P.O.S.T. Grad. Bryan Cunningham

Although I haven't seen them much since I switched to working nights, I think of Ed and Cindi and how much fun we had talking about the "No Makeup Club" at the Pizza Factory when they would come in for lunch. She the President, I the Vice, and Ed the supporter of us expressing who we are without passing judgment. Ed was definitely one of my most-favorite-ever patrons at the restaurant. It was nice to wait on a friendly face or two every week. Cindi, I am so sorry. Please come visit us at the PF.

Paige Hendrickson

I did not know Deputy Dare. But I was raised knowing how close you can become in a department. The loss of Deputy Dare is tragic and the support that I have seen is awesome. My heart and prayers go out to the family and local law enforcement who protect me 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You will be very much missed. I thank you for always watching Bret's back. It has been a comfort to me to know that he has men of your quality working beside him. Your love for your wife was obvious and admirable. Your love of a good joke and easy manner always made those around you feel comfortable and accepted. Thanks again!

Gia
Wife of Sgt. Bret Allred, ICSO

We honor you not because you have died, but for the way you died- in the service of Iron County, this state, and this nation. Your actions exemplify the finest traditions of law enforcement.

We will be in Cedar with heavy hearts.

Steve Hirzel& David Edmunds
Park City Police, Utah

My heart and prayers go out to you and yours, Deputy Dare. I never met you, but I always saw you in our neighborhood. And I was grateful to know that officers like yourself were there to protect me and mine. I felt safe knowing you were there. My heart is heavy these days knowing you are NOT there. It is heavy for your comrades and what they are feeling. But especially for your wife. My God be with her and your Family. May God watch over our other protectors. Keep them safe.

Eddie,
As hard as it is to see you go, I know that the Lord has more important things for you to be doing. You are an insiration to us all and you will always be remembered in our hearts.
Thanks for your Friendship Ed!

Another morning has approached as I think of my officer again.
One of the many officers that swore to serve and to protect,
And gave up his life in the very end.

That fateful day is something that I am not allowed to forget.
It is that memory that reappears each time I put on my headset.

And when I sit in front of the radio and dispatch my officers to a priority call,
I silently hope and pray that I hear them clear,
instead of hear them take the fall......
(A Dispatcher's Promise, Paula Ann Gomes)


Ed, May the Lord bless and keep you and your family. You have touched so many lives. I will always remember your love for all people, and the job that you held so close to your heart. Thank you for being part of who I am today.

My Heart Goes Out To His Family. Although I didn't know this Fine officer. I have the highest respect for the Law and The Men and Women that serve it.

May God Always Hold You In The Palm Of His Hands.
