Praying for your family, friends, colleagues, and agency during this very difficult time for them and all of us. Thank you for your service! We shall remember you with pride and admiration always! May God Bless You!
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4], and;
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13]
Depart in peace, Comrade-in-Blue; in the name of God the Father who created you. May you rest in peace, cross over the Rainbow Bridge, and dwell forever with the Lord. Amen.

K-9 Riley, Oh my God, only He knows why you died in the line of duty to save your partner, Deputy Sheriff Gibson. There is NO earthly explanation. You died a HERO beyond description, along with your partner. I know you both must be at some level of comfort that we here can never know - you did the MOST IMPORTANT thing in all of history - protecting your partner - you have the soul of God - may you forever shine.

I am sad to learn of the passing of a Hero in K9 Riley. I believe our Heavenly Father has welcomed K9 Riley into his loving arms where he will now patrol the Golden Streets of Heaven with his Handler. May the Lord deliver Blessings, Comfort and Peace to his Family, Friends and all members of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, California.
