When Gerald 'Bear' Smith passed away in January, it left a hole in the heart of his family, many people in the community and his work family at the Ian Deutch Government complex. To honor his many years of service and commitment as a bailiff, a resolution was presented at the May 18th Board of County Commissioners meeting to name the Courthouse within the Ian Deutch complex after him. Bear was also honored at the May 6th Fallen Peach Officers ceremony in Carson City. His name was added to a memorial monument along with Las Vegas Metro Lieutenant Erik Lloyd who also died of complications of COVID and Nevada Highway Patrol Sargent Ben Jenkins who was killed in the line of duty.
