"Anyone can slay a dragon, he told me, but try waking up in the morning and loving the world all over again. That's what takes a real hero."

I had the pleasure of meeting some Yellowstone County Deputies when I worked as a Law Enforcement Ranger in Bighorn Canyon N.R.A., Ft. Smith duty station. The deputies were very professional and my guess is that Deputy Briese was no exception to that....thank you for all that you did.

Rest in peace Deputy Briese...we'll take it from here.

Our family unites in sorrow and grief with the family, friends, and co-workers of Deputy David Briese.

The oldest of us was 8 when dad died, and the youngest wasn't yet born. We trust that fellow officers will honor the memory of Deputy Briese by talking about David when his young sons ask.

Deputy Briese, you will not be forgotten; rest in peace, sir.

We are all very saddened to hear of the tragic death of our fellow officer. I had the privilege of attending basic with Dave, and will never forget him. I watched our class video last night, and the one consistent thing about Dave is that he was always grinning and chewing his gum. This man would do anything for someone in need. He was dedicated to his chosen profession and to his family and friends. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. May you rest in peace buddy.
