Suspicious? Anti-Illegal Immigration Sheriff Dies in One Car Accident Arkancided? Sheriff Dever dies in single vehicle accident Sierra Vista Herald ^ Posted on Wednesday, September 19, 2012 8:25:06 AM by SandRat It was learned late Tuesday night that Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever has died in a single vehicle rollover accident in Coconino County. Details of what occurred are sketchy as of this hour, but the news was confirmed by Cochise County Supervisor Pat Call at about 11 p.m. Dever was running unopposed in this fall’s election for what would have been his fifth term as sheriff. It is unclear at this time what his sudden passing will mean in the electoral process. The sheriff was more than a local law enforcement official as he took the lead on the national issue of illegal immigration and its impacts not only on Cochise County, but the state of Arizona and nation. Dever testified before Congress on several occasions regarding these issues and as stated on the county’s website he had assumed a leadership role in attempting to bring resolution to related local concerns. He was on the National Sheriff Association’s Board of Directors and was elected because of his strong leadership role in Border Law Enforcement Issues. The sheriff is a native of Cochise County. He was born and raised in St. David. He and his wife, Nancy, are the parents of six sons. The oldest serves as a major in the U.S. Army, three work for Arizona law enforcement agencies, one as a firefighter, and one attends college. The sheriff died just four days after his 86-year-old mother, Annie Mae Dever, died of cancer. According to the county’s website, Dever was a 34-year Cochise County law enforcement veteran. He was elected to his first term as sheriff in 1996, following a 20-year career working in the trenches of Cochise County law enforcement. Entering the profession as a deputy in 1976, Dever rose through the ranks from sergeant to major before successfully seeking political office and being re-elected to a fourth term in 2008.
