David Gurney

During Dave's early years in detention one of the inmate's nicknamed him "Monster"! Of course we fellow officers never let him forget it and the nickname stuck. Dave always took our jesting with a chuckle. Rest in Peace Dave. Prayers to the family.

I started my career at MCSO with Dave in April of 1990 at the training academy at the Durango Jail. Over the next 26 years I worked with Dave in Central Intake, ran into him when he was transporting inmates around the jails along with the occasional surprise to call somewhere and have Dave answer the phone. As I said I started my career with Dave and found myself working with him in SIMS at the end, a good guy and friend you'll be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, sending my condolences to the Gurney family. I hope the words at 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can provide you with some comfort at this difficult time.

To the Gurney Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
