Deputy Dave Hedley

Deputy David Hedley’s final watch ended September 3rd, when he was released from a 2 ½ year battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Faced with only six weeks to live, Dave fought for every benchmark…watching one daughter graduate college, having another daughter move from Vermont to Montana to be closer, attending two son’s high school graduation, and awarding his two youngest son’s gold medals at Special Olympics. After these goals were met, he started hospice care. And just like the marathons he ran in his younger years, he ran across the ultimate finish line on his 26th day of palliative care. He is survived by his wife Holly; six children LeeAnn, Bobbie, Robby, Cody, Curt, and Colton; his Father, Robert; and three siblings, Nevin, Robert, and Harriet. His dear Mother, Harriet, passed away two years ago and was waiting to meet him in his final moments.
