Agencies and community members throughout the Basin took to social media over the weekend to remember a fallen local officer. On June 7th, 2010, Bureau of Indian Affairs Officer Joshua Yazzie was killed while responding to a call in Fort Duchesne. Tragically, his patrol vehicle rolled down an embankment when he was on his way to assist on the call. Officer Yazzie was survived by his wife Jessica and children Jaxsen and MaCee Yazzie. He is remembered as a kind person who truly cared about his community. The life and service of Officer Yazzie will never be forgotten.
