Bonneville Sheriff’s Office deputy added to East Idaho Workers Memorial

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI)-Members of the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office are making sure one of their own is never forgotten.

Deputy Wyatt Maser's name was chosen to be added to the East Idaho Workers Memorial at Freeman Park.

The memorial is in honor of all workers and laborers who died while on the job.

Sergeant Bryan Lovell with the Sheriff's Office said it was an "honor" to participate in the service Saturday, which included a proclamation from Mayor Rebecca Casper recognizing the yearly event.

"The Sheriff's Office is honored Dep. Maser's name was chosen for this memorial, a place where the families of these hard working people can know they are not forgotten," Lovell said.

Lovell also said the Sheriff's Office "Didn't know they (the board in charge of the memorial) picked his name, but are honored they did."

Deputy Maser died almost a year ago, responding to a call when a fellow officer accidentally hit him with his car.
