It is with great sadness that we read of the death of Deputy Sheriff David March, another fine law enforcement hero. Our prayers and condolences go out to his family, friends, and co-workers in Los Angeles County. We know, from recent firsthand experience, that this will be a time of numbing shock and stunning grief for all of you; we'll be thinking of you and praying that God will grant you peace and rest in the difficult days to come. David has joined an outstanding group of fine officers on eternal Heavenly Patrol.

David,
I saw the breaking news on TV yesterday just as I sat down to eat lunch. I saw your patrol car alongside the curb - lights on, driver door ajar... & then I saw the huge amount of blood spilled on the asphalt in front of your black & white. A sick feeling came over me immediately. The news reporter said you had been shot in the face & chest several times, & the suspect fled in his car. They said you had been transported to the hospital in grave condition, & I knew it was bad.
I learned this morning that you'd passed on, so when I put on my uniform this morning, I affixed the black band around my badge in your honor. I wear it as a tribute to you, & to all those in uniform who've been called home before you.
Even though I never knew you, I still want to thank you for helping to make Southern California a safer place. Thank you for your service, & ultimately for giving your life. You will surely be missed, but you will never be forgotten. God bless your wife & family.

I have been coming to this website since November 13,2001, when Deputy Sheriff Billy Ray Walls III was shot and killed in the line of duty. Billy and I started our law enforcement careers together as dispatchers at the University of Kentucky Police Department. Many times, during "hot" situations, we would climb the walls, wanting to be out in the action, instead of sitting in dispatch. As the years went by, Billy seemed to be a magnet for the "heavy stuff", and loving every minute of it. We never know when we leave for work whether we will come home, that is a part of the job and we all know that...to the family, friends, and fellow law enforcement brothers and sisters of Deputy March, he will be remembered as a hero by all of you, keep your memories close to your heart and he will never be far away. He is patrolling streets of gold with the finest law enforcement officers God ever made...My prayers will be with all of you at the most difficult time in a law enforcement family. Isaiah 40:31

To the family and friends of Deputy March, may God watch over you and keep you and may the knowledge that he is with the Lord help the pain seem a little more bearable. May Deputy March live in your hearts and minds forever, until we are all reunited again.

RIP Deputy March
To the family and co-workers of Deputy Marsh, no words can express my profound sorrow and anguish. Rest assured that he died a hero, and will not be forgotten. Not tomorrow, not ever. We are all a family and never hesitate to reach out to your thousands of brothers and sisters for anything you may need.
God bless you and may the flights of angels convey David to his final home.
