Deputy Jon Niemann - 2003
Jon kept everyone in the Sheriff’s Office on their toes with his great sense of humor, particularly with impressions of celebrities and co-workers. Jon’s background with the Marine Corps made him disciplined, dedicated and committed. During his tenure at the Sheriff’s Office, Jon worked in a variety of positions: a patrol deputy, bailiff, civil process, and as a proud and valuable member of the Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team. Ironically, Jon, who had no tolerance for drunk drivers, was killed by a drunk driver on December 30, 2003. Jon was 37 years old.
