John Durm faithfully served the people of Marion County as a Deputy Sheriff for almost four decades. In that time, he set himself apart as an honorable and faithful public servant. It was clear that he was committed to service above self, even unto his final moments.

But Deputy Durm was more than that. He was a father, a son, a colleague, and a friend. Our hearts are broken for his parents, and his children Cory, Robert, John, and Bryce. Much like he did, John’s children are following his example and currently serving at the MCSO and in the United States Air Force.

Rest in Peace, Deputy John Durm. We will never forgot your service or your sacrifice.
