Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Staples
As a retired deputy from your same dept., El Dorado County, or EDSO, I want you to know that you still live on! After joining EDSO, I learned of you and have been to your grave site several times to pay my respects. We were proud that your sacrafice was our only one for over 100 years until our recent loss of Deputy Ishmael in 2019. You have not been forgotten.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 148th anniversary year 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 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

Much of the War depicted in movies is confined to the East Coast. As one who hails from the City (Charleston, S.C.)where the "War of Northern Aggression" began, I often share stories about California related to the War. Here in Los Angeles remains a "Civil War"(sic) Barracks.

Deputy Staples:

May Your Soul Rest-In-Peace.

Deputy Staples,

You came from another era of law enforcement. You did your job as you saw fit. I salute your courage and sense of right. You will always be an American hero. Its been 142 years since you gave your life for the citizens of El Dorado County and we still know your name. Rest in peace brother.

I don't know if we are related by blood, or only by name.
But I know we are related by profession, and passion to do the job. Rest in peace brother, I have picked up the shield and I follow.
