October 30, 2015 at 8:20 AM: After hearing rumors and of noticing that Calaveras Sheriff Kuntz appeared to be ill when on KCRA channel 3 last week, this morning we have been told that he passed away sometime yesterday.
It was first announced publicly this morning. We will give more details when they become available at a press conference later today.
Kuntz was just re-elected last year to a 2nd term. The announcement just went out to deputies over the radio scanner to fly all flags at half staff and to shroud their badges. We believe Kuntz was 63 years old.

I supported Kuntz, but he had a lot of enemies because of his closeness with certain individuals.
Feel sorry for his girlfriend. she Is nice. what will she do now?
He had three more years to be sheriff. Who will take his place?
Did he have a hex on him?
he was way too good of friends with the perps. they liked him.
Maybe Ballard will get the appointment
He drank too much, in my opinion.
Leave you sick comments to yourself,he was a nice man that loved people. What purpose will be served by dragging his name through the mud. He tried to serve the County as best as he could, with no funds and a understaffed Dept. I hope this Dept. will heal and become more united.
What a bunch of horrible people you are. Rest in peace Gary. You will be missed. Prayer s for your loved ones.
He may have been a nice person, but wasn't a very good sheriff many say. Sad that he died so young, but he apparently didn't take care of himself.
Does anyone know what caused his death?
They really do suspect a heart attack, but I think there will be an autopsy. That was on local FOX this morning.
I hope the department will be more united, too. Especially how badly women were treated. Not just in the department, but victims and all.
Kuntz hasn't been the same since he tried to handle the OES during the Butte Fire. Sad, but the stress got to him.
Why don't you all shut up. He was a gool ol drinking buddy of mine. So what if he drank.
What a county we live in! A bunch of gossiping, back stabbing, conniving, backwood group of folks. Listen (or read) to yourselves!
Is there no kindness, forgiving, compassionate, open minded people in this county? I mean right now you're reading this and saying ".. Well so & so was this way or so & so said something or so & so stole that..".
Let it go folks! Try and be a better human being to your neighbor! It's so friggen easy. Much less energy than being a hater.
A man died for crying out loud.
You must be german. Kuntz lived the way he wanted, exactly as you call the others who are commenting. most get what they deserve, even after they die.
Anybody but Ballard!!!!
What do you mean. I like Eddie Ballard. Would make a great sheriff.
