At our last Town Council meeting we proudly recognize Keith Rather and Jonathan Ferris for receiving Life Saving Awards for their courageous and selfless actions during a recent emergency incident.
When a volunteer at the La Paz County Animal Shelter was seriously injured in a dog attack, Keith acted immediately without hesitation. Hearing the victim’s screams from a nearby work site, he rushed to help, secured the aggressive dog, and helped prevent even more severe injuries. His calm leadership and quick thinking played a critical role until emergency responders arrived.
Jonathan is also being recognized for his dedication, bravery, and commitment to protecting and serving others in a time of crisis.
Both men demonstrated extraordinary courage, composure, and compassion under pressure. Their actions are a true reflection of the values that make our community strong.
Please join us in congratulating Keith and Jonathan on these well-deserved Life Saving Awards and thanking them for their outstanding service to the Town of Parker and our community.
