Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Justin,

Sweetheart, I miss you terribly and try day by day to get through my life without you. My mind is constantly thinking of you and my heart breaks everytime I am shocked into the realization that you are gone. Thank you for all the beautiful memories of our life together, and more importantly, thank you for our beautiful daughter! I promise to try to make every dream you had for her come true.
Until we meet again and you can once again wrap me in your arms....
All of my love FOREVER,
Kristy

Kristy Wollam
Justin's Wife

Justin,

It was with heavy hearts and many tears that my family bid you farewell one month ago. Our ray of hope has been your faith in Christ. Another has been the assurance we have that we will see you again one day. As a result of your faith, our 5 year old son accepted Jesus' gift of salvation. After watching your funeral service on t.v., he decided that he would like to meet you one day, in a far better place. Hopefully, your ultimate sacrifice will bring others to embrace the faith you lived out in your life.

"Thank you," from a grateful mother and citizen. I will never forget you and I promise to stand by Kristy and Kristin as long as I live.

Cheri Chavers
APD Officer's Wife

I'm so sorry for the tragic and sudden death of your husband. I know you are very proud to have been married to such a wonderful man. My husband was a police officer too, he loved his job so much. He wasn't killed in the line of duty, he died from cancer. It was a horrible battle we faced, and unfortunately his body could not take anymore. I hope that you are doing ok, I know it's the hardest thing you have ever been through. Be strong and safe and take care of yourself.

John D. Sainz
Tucson Police Department

Brother I will keep you in my memories. It is so tragic that the Lord is always calling us one after another. We chose this job knowing its dangers. It is a thankless job only your fellow brothers and sisters can understand. But, you will never be forgotten. May god bless you and your family, and may he watch over your wife and daughter.

Deputy Sheriff
Seminole County Sheriff's Office FL.

This community lost a dedicated officer and I lost a great friend. Justin, the only comfort I find in any of this is that you are "on the job" in a much better place, watching over each and every one of us. While I find it impossible not to grieve your death, I shall strive to celebrate your life with us, for you made a lasting impression on those around you.

To a great friend, a wonderful husband, an outstanding daddy and a true hero......I will never forget you and shall one day be proud to stand by your side again.

What kind of Officer do you want to come to your call for help?
What kind of Officer do you want to wear your department's uniform?
What kind of officer do you want to arrive as your "back-up?"
What kind of Officer should we all strive to be like?
Justin T. Wollam. 6'4" tall, lean, strong, and technically and tactically proficient. Justin was always quick to smile and see the light and humor in any situation, but was compassionate and understanding with every complainant and victim he came in contact with. Justin had developed a command presence and confident bearing that let everyone around him know that he was "now in control" of whatever situation he was involved with. Justin could quickly assess any situation he got into, make a plan, and solve the problem at hand.
A.P.D. lost one of our finest. A better partner and friend I could never find. I miss that Texas "drawl",and big "cheesy" grin. Rest easy, Justin, and handle the call GOD dispatched you to. We all will 10-34 you from down here, and make sure KRISTY and KRISTIN are safe.

Justin was a caring, compassionate person and loving husband and father. He will be missed forever by his family. When my daughter Kristy and Justin decided to marry, I told her I couldn't have picked a better son-in-law. I loved Justin as a son. He left behind a beautiful daughter, Kristin who is like him in many way's. I thank God for giving us Justin, and Justin for giving us Kristin. Justin, we will watch after Kristy and Kristin. As you watch over us from Heaven, know you are in our every thought. We love you.

Charles Cash, civilian (Justin's Father-

Justin, I didn't know you and yet I still feel a great loss from our family in law enforcement. I worked for the Anchorage Police Department briefly and it truly is a great family that suffered a great loss by your death. I believe now you are patrolling the best beat a cop can have.

Farewell, Officer Shaun Henry San Diego Police

Are thoughts are with you we just lost an deputy on Saturday. It is tuff to deal with!!

Deputy Brent Martin

Justin

The citizens of Anchorage may never know how much of a difference you made out there but those who knew you understands the void that is left with your passing. Every day you put on the uniform you realized that this could be your last day but that never affected the way that you conducted yourself and the professional way you handled your calls. I will cherish the times we worked together in Eagle River.

Kristy and Kristin having lost a father at the age of 13 I know first hand the void that is left in your hearts, eventually the pain will fade and will be replaced with fond memories of the kind of person Justin was as a husband and as a father, Kristin your daddy was a true hero may you never lose those memories. You are forever a part of the APD family and we will be there for you.

You, Lord, are my shepherd. I will never be in need. You let me rest in fields of green grass. You lead me to streams of peaceful water, and you refresh my life. You are true to your name, and you lead me along the right paths. I may walk through valleys as dark as death, but I wont be afraid. Your are with me, and your shepherds rod makes me feel safe. You treat me to a feast, while my enemies watch. You honor me as your guest, and you fill my cup until it overflows. Your kindness and love will always be with me each day of my life, and I will live forever in your house, Lord. Psalm 23

Justin you will be with me each day of my life. Good bye brother.

Patrol Officer Kevin R Armstrong
Anchorage Police Department

I wish to say this officer is also a hero, a man who took the risks to make society safer, and in the progress, may have saved another life, with his own....God surely holds you tightly now, and He never forgets those whom mourn your loss, he will strengthen those who ask, and He too grieves, America grieves...we will NEVER FORGET!

Rest in peace comrade, a job well done....

Scott Parker
Former Harris County Deputy Constable

Mere words cannot express my true feelings right now. I have been involved with way too many 'Officer Killed' funerals. They take their toll on us all. This senseless act has resulted in four needless deaths, the hardest (in my eyes) is that of our brother, Justin.

Justin is the youngest to have given his life at our department. The true story of this incident is gut wrenching - but the shortened version is that the young adult driver INTENTIONALLY drove at Justin's vehicle. This was NO acccident.

To the Wollam family - my deepest regards and heartfelt sadness are the feelings that I share with you. Know that Justin will never be forgotten, that his wife and child will be part of 'our family' forever. My prayers, and those of my family are with you one and all. Get close to your family, and believe in the strength of God as you begin the journey of grieving and healing.

Justin, rest in peace our brother!

It is not fair that a husband/father of his quality was taken away from those who love him by an intoxicated, delinquent teenager. I pray that Justin's wife and child can overcome the grief from this horrible incident and move on with the hope of seeing him again someday in a better place.

Our prayers are with you Justin and family.

Officer Rob Lund
Anchorage Police Dept.

Mrs. Wollam,

We are forever indebted for the great sacrifice that Justin made. May the Lord forever bless and keep your family and loved ones.

"SEMPER FIDELIS"

Officer Allen
DOD, NDW

Justin,

Your enduring smile, warm heart and Texan gait will never be forgotten. God had a reason for taking you that will always be beyond our understanding, but I like Rick's sentiment, God must have needed a 34, code. God speed my brother.

OFC Mike Raleigh
Anchorage Police Dept.

Justin was a hard worker, and good at being a cop. He was not heavy-handed, badge-heavy, nor a coward. He was easy to get along with, easy to talk to, never complained at work, and always handled more than his share. Justin would back up officers without being asked. To Justin's family, I'm so sorry for your/ our loss. He will be sorely missed, and never forgotten.

Psalms 34:15-18
"The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord is against evildoers, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. The righteous cry and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

With tears, we bid you good-bye, until we meet again.

Your friends, Brett & Carol Sarber

To another fallen brother...rest in peace and remember you are now patrolling the streets of heaven with your fellow brothers who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

You died a hero. You lived as a hero, to your co-workers, your wife and your child. We will carry on in your absence. Knowing that you are now a Guardian Angel to all or your LE Brothers and Sisters is some comfort. Rest in Peace Brother.

Dear Officer Wollam,

Many thanks for serving us in Anchorage. And, inasmuch as you had to surrender your life, know that you go to God having certainly saved many more from this reckless delinquent.

Your life and service was not in vain.
