Your heroism and service is honored today, the 88th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.
Rest In Peace.

I've heard it said that when one dies, one is born. It's ironic that Deputy John Bunyon Counts is the first name I found on here. My father was born the day after, maybe hours after Deputy Count's death. So, I feel a real continuity from the end of his life to the present. Dad will be 86 on his next birthday, so, almost 86 years since Deputy John Counts' passing. It's tragic that he wasn't allowed to be 86 or even older, because of a criminal's actions. To Deputy John Bunyon Counts, Rest In Peace.
