My daughter and I moved to Red Bluff briefly in 2000-2001. Being in H.S., my daughter chose to go to the Police Dept for the H.S. 'Job Shadowing' day. She was to ride with an Officer for 4 hours, but it ended up being all day.
A couple of years later and a move south, I was at work on break one night, and happened to pick up the paper, in it was a list of all Officers killed in the line of duty that year. There was yours. I broke down sobbing, believing you were the one my daughter had the privilege to ride along with that day - your name was easy to remember.
And to this day, I thank you for your service, dedication, bravery, and your sacrifice.

As I drove by the gas pumps on main st I said a prayer for your family and the family of deputy Goforth. Such similar tragedies. I hope your family and fellow officers are doing okay during this time.

Officer Mobilio,

I remember almost 10 years ago when you were my DARE officer. You were the coolest and taught me valuable lessons I still uphold to this day. Every time I go to that CFN off main and adobe I think of you.

I will never forget you

I lived not far from Red Bluff when this happened and when I opened the morning paper and saw this....

There wasn't any words to describe how disgusting this is.

I hope the person who murdered this officer is enjoying his cell.

RIP

I remember when meeting him first time was at the Fairgrounds he was pulling traffic duty. How calm and collected he was, even though drivers were not. I remember as an explorer, talking and seeing him. He will truly be missed.

Dave,

Seven years ago, I responded to assist after being notified of your death. Since then I have made it a mission to insure that you and your sacrifice were not forgotten. This past December I was with Linda,your son Luke and your Mom, Laurie at the 124th Butte Police Academy graduation, where I was honored to help deliver an Academy Scholarship in your name. Your son is developing into a fine young man and you would be very proud of him. He has told his mom that he wants to move to Red Bluff and become a Red Bluff Police Officer when he grows up. I hope I am around to pin his badge on him. I see by the reflections on this site that you are not being forgotten and I am very appreciative for those who have not forgotten you and others. I am confident that if you were still here you would surely be one of our most valuable employees we have.

With Respect,

Paul Nanfito,

Dear Dave,
I am a young woman who you may not remember. You used to come to my school all the time and help out with the D.A.R.E. program. I didn't really know much about you but my cousin did. My heart goes out to you and the many others going through something similar. One thing I do know, and will never forget is that you did your job above and beyond. You really went the extra mile to help those in need. Our lives may go on day by day, but we will always continue to remember...You are now a Fallen Angel, one whom I swear to never forget. May god be with you and your family...S..

I'll never forget when I was in 5th grade you came to my school and we always talked that one day. You told me how your whatch was a laser whatch and you cut down trees with it... Always intertaining. Even though I am only an Explorer Every single time I go on a ride along with the Deputies I dedicate to you. You are not forgotten. Dave on November 19, 2002 we in Red Bluff lost the battle, but we will win the war. Thank you for sacrificing for this great nation. I miss you man. One day we will celebrate together in Heaven. Thank you my brother!
