In Remembrance of John Applegate

The City of Deer Park mourns the loss of John Applegate and remembers him with heartfelt gratitude for his 32 years of dedicated service as our City Auditor.

For more than 3 decades, John was an important part of our city's history and the team that helps keep Deer Park running. His years of service represent a tremendous commitment to our community, and we are deeply grateful for the time, dedication, and care he gave to the city he served.

Thirty-two years is more than a career; it is a lasting legacy of service to the people and community of Deer Park. John's contributions will not be forgotten, and he will always hold a special place in our city's story.

On behalf of the City of Deer Park, we extend our heartfelt condolences to John's family, friends, colleagues, and all who had the privelege of knowing him. We hope they find comfort in knowing how much his years of service meant to our community.

Thank you, John, for 32 years of commitment to the City of Deer Park. We are grateful for your service, and you will be remembered with respect, appreciation, and fondness.

With sincere gratitude and our deepest sympathy,

the City of Deer Park
