What a Shame to die so young.We will say Prayers for you.Being a Policeman is like being a Soldier in a War zone' You never know when its your Time to go. 75 have died so far this Year.They are all in the Hands of God now.

Justin,
How will we go on, now that you are gone?
You are no longer with us, so who responds when we ask for a 10-34?
The senseless way you were taken from us leads me to only one conclusion...God needed a cover unit, and none better to answer the call.
The men and women of the Anchorage Police Department WILL go on, in your honor! We do this knowing that we have a long, tall, Texas angel on our shoulders.
You will remain in our hearts always.

God Bless you sir, and may you find peace. Please watch over your brothers and sisters in LE as they go about their everyday lives. They might not suffer the "ultimate sacrifice" as you have, but your watch will help. Thank you for "protecting and serving." You shall not be forgotten.

It is a great tragedy when an officer looses their life. It is extremly tragic when it is lost in a senseless act such as this.
Officers Wollam's friends and family are in our thoughts and prayers.

This case is a prime example of the fact that you need to ensure that when you put on that uniform your right with the world. The fact that so many times we don't "pre-think" our day only leaves me wondering what would happen if my life was taken in the line of duty without warning. So many officers have been taken these months its hard not to have a heavy heart. A piece of all of us is gone forever. We only hope the lord above looks after us and those officers who have given the ultimate sacrifice watch over us in our daily battles. We are warriors of the modern ages. We live and die everyday. Our only hope is to make the difference in the communities that we have chosen to make our homes. The lucky ones make a difference in a lot of communities. To Justin, you will live within us. To the family and friends, know that you have our love.

My families thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Our family lost Trooper Moen 2 weeks ago and nothing that we can say can ease your pain. May God be with you and your family.

I'm very sorry to hear about the tragic death of Officer Wollam. It is surprising how many people show complete disregard for the lives of others by drinking and driving. However, Officer Wollam's sacrifice inspires me even more to do all that I can to become a police officer and protect people from these tragidies just as he did.
"Greater love hath no man that this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
I pray that his family, friends, and fellow officers find comfort through the hope that faith in the Lord always brings.

To the family and friends of Officer Wollam, Our thoughts and prayer go out to you.
My husband was also killed in line of duty when he was 27 and he also left our daughter when she was 4 and our son when he was 7, I know what your wife is going through right now, please take care of them from up in heaven and be always near them as the "angel" that you are now.
God Bless you always.
