Comments about ‘Daggett sheriff's deputy is laid to rest’

An honorable man leading an honorable life. My condolences to his family.

Greetings:

I was stunned to turn on my computer and read of the passing of John DeHart!

At first, I wondered if it could be the same guy?

But, as I read more details, there was no mistake.

John DeHart and I used to work together on the graveyard shift at Toole Army Depot.

We both lived in West Valley, and would car pool together to and from work.

We were both LDS, and I've visited him and his family in their home.

I remember when he was so badly injured in that horrible midnight crash.

I thought he'd never be able to work again.

The last time I spoke with him, we were both in the waiting room at the VA Hospital in Salt Lake.

My, how the years fly by!

I can imagine how pleased he was to become a deputy sheriff in Daggett County!

What an achievement!

He has such a beautiful family.

By now, I reckon he's got grandkids.

I offer my sympathy and condolences to his loved ones.

Rest in peace, old friend.

Thank you.

I just read the article about this kind gentleman. He sounded as if he was a very stoic man and a most kind one as well. The comment that stood out as I read about him is the one he taught his son about friends. "You don't need to be friends with them, but you do need to be friendly to them." What a wonderful lesson that is applicable for all of us. I will put that bit of advice in the fore front of my memory and will use it often. Thank you for sharing that. Condolences to the family.

What a awesome individual you were Deputy Dehart!!
Thanks for teaching everyone a little something.

John was an incredible man. John, Noreen and the kids are wonderful people. As an ex-sister-in-law John was a hero to me and my son's. He was a good and gentle man who did care about everyone around him. He opened his heart to my family even beyond my marriage to Noreen's brother. His Son, Ryan's euligy was a true tribute to this man who followed Christ and his example. Our thoughts and prayers are with Noreen, the kids and grandkids.

I had the pleasure of knowing John. He was a good man.

John was loved by all who knew him. Having grown up around the corner from the DeHarts in Magna I have lots fo fond memories of john and his family. John was Like a brother to my dad.
John will be missed by all.I think when John returned to heaven his parents and my dad were there waiting for him. And I'm sure if there is away to pull pranks in heaven John and my dad are doing it together again.

My uncle was a very loving, and he always had something nice to say.
