On behalf of the Klamath County Sheriff's Office in Klamath Falls Oregon, we send our sincerest sympathy in the recent loss of your Deputy, Donald Albert Poffenroth, from complications of the COVID-19 Virus.

For those that didn't know him Deputy Poffenroth was extremely dedicated to his family and his career. He was the type of man that would give you the shirt off of his back and the shoes off his feet if you needed it. Whether on or off duty he was always there when called (and sometimes even when he wasn't) just to ensure the safety of his fellow Deputies and citizens. He helped encourage me to be a better person and to not settle working job to job. He helped motivate me to go back to school and get my Diploma and to start my career as a dispatcher. Your watch has ended brother but you will always be with us.

Officer Poffenroth, for many years, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. It took a small virus to take your life. Our Lord, who sees all and knows all, will reward you abundantly for your courage, dedication and selfless service. May God immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Pershing County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
