It is with deep sorrow and regret that we note the passing of long time Gila County Manager, Steven L. Besich, in Globe, Arizona.

Steve began his career with Gila County in 1985 as Economic Development Specialist. He was promoted to Community Development Deputy Director and has been County Manager for over 20 years. Additionally, he served under former Governor, now Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, as Liaison for Rural Affairs.

Steve is known by employees as Mr. B., Boss, and of course Mr. Besich. He has provided guidance, support, and leadership to us all. Throughout his career he never lost his passion for his work and for the employees and citizens of Gila County.

Funeral arrangements are pending.

Shirley L. Dawson, Chairman
Gila County Board of Supervisors
