Today, we remember Deputy Ralph Butler, who died in the line of duty on June 12, 1972 after sustaining critical injuries in a traffic collision on U.S. 60 west of Wickenburg.

Deputy Butler was responding to a call for assistance at the scene of a fatal crash when his patrol vehicle was struck by a tractor-trailer. Despite the efforts of first responders and medical personnel, he succumbed to his injuries the following evening.

Deputy Butler had served with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for six years. He is survived by his wife and two children. His commitment to serving others and his sacrifice in the line of duty will never be forgotten.
