Kenneth Ray Blair

Kenneth Ray Blair devoted a portion of his life to public service as a Deputy II with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. Public records of fallen officers list Deputy Blair with an End of Watch date of September 28, 1995, and identify gunfire as the cause of his death. Those official memorials preserve his name among colleagues who gave their lives while serving their communities.

Although an extended private biography or a published funeral notice matching his name and the exact death date was not found in the public obituary records consulted, the official memorial listings make clear that Kenneth Blair’s work placed him in service to the people of Maricopa County. He is included on memorial pages that honor law enforcement officers from the county and the state, ensuring his service and sacrifice remain part of the public record.

Because published personal remembrances or family-authored obituaries that match the exact date were not available in the sources examined, many intimate details about his life — such as birthdate, family statements, and personal anecdotes — are not present in the public record I reviewed. That absence does not diminish his humanity: the official remembrances attest to a person who wore his uniform to serve others and whose passing was felt by the law enforcement community.

This page honors Kenneth Ray Blair by preserving what is verifiable and respectful: his name, his role as a Deputy II with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, and the date on which he made his final sacrifice. If family members or local funeral-home records become available that provide a fuller, family-authorized account of his life, they would provide the best basis for a more detailed, personal memorial. For now, his service is respectfully remembered through the official memorial and law-enforcement honor lists that record his End of Watch.
