UnderSheriff Rountree was an honorable individual who along with Deputy Sheriff Trafton gave their life performing their duties. Their deaths were senseless act of evil by a mentally ill person.

May the souls of Undersheriff Rountree and Deputy Sheriff Trafton rest in peace.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 84th 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.


Rest In Peace
