Veterans group honors deputies for service

Nevada Appeal staff report
The compassionate — and in
one instance lifesaving — actions
of two deputies earned them
awards from the Dayton Post
8660 of Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Members of Post 8660 held a
ceremony on July 26 to thank
Lyon County Sheriff ’s Deputies
William McDaniel and Nathan
Cooper.
McDaniel was presented with
the VFW’s Life Saving Award.
Due to McDaniel’s quick ac-
tion, calm demeanor and expert
knowledge, a woman’s life was
saved even though she hadn’t
been breathing upon his arrival
on scene.
The woman subsequently made
a full recovery.
Cooper received the Deputy
of the Year award for his com-
passionate engagement with the
Dayton community.
Cooper, an Army veteran who
served in Operation Enduring
Freedom, has been a deputy with
the LCSO since September 2013.
He earned the Deputy of the
Year nomination for the kindness
he showed on Feb. 9, 2017, when
he was assigned to help in the in-
vestigation of a house fire. Cooper
not only interviewed witnesses
but also took care of the children
whose house burned.
“The children had recently lost
their house, most of their belong-
ings, their mother was out of the
state at a burn ward with their
youngest sibling. He brought
them to the substation and treat-
ed them in a caring manner to
minimize the trauma they were
experiencing,” Sgt. Dan Lynch
wrote in the award nomination.
“He worked with CPS to find ap-
propriate care for the children. He
bought them food with his own
money, and when I suggested he
turn in the receipt for reimburse-
ment he said, ‘I am just glad they
were fed.’”
Cooper was also nominated for COURTESY
