Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Toney Clayton Summey
Rest in peace brother.
Police Officer
Denver Police Department
As a close friend of Toney's, I would like to say thank you all for your kind words, prayers, and thoughts as they are despirately needed in this time of grief. I had the pleasure of seeing my friend's smiling face just an hour prior to the incident and that is what I will always remember about Toney. He was a big-hearted, friendly man that would bend over backwards to help someone -- always willing to sacrifice. This day he made the ultimate sacrifice and will forever be immortalized as a true hero. He deserved to be a HERO. He always has been to me. I will miss you dearly my brother and thank you for all the memories. See you later.

May the Lord bless and keep the family and friends who grieve. May the Lord grant Sheriff Summey peace and rest. May the Lord protect and bless all who continue to serve and defend our communities from those who would do harm

The urgent calling of nature longs to be tested, seeks to be challenged beyond itself. The warrior within us beseeches Mars, the god of War, to deliver us to that crucial battlefield that will redeem us into the terrifying immediacy of the moment. We want to face our Goliath so we may be reminded that the warrior David is alive, in us. We pray to the war gods to guide us to the walls of Jerrico so we may dare the steadfastness and strength of our trumpet call. We aspire to be defeated in battle by powers so much greater than ourselves, so that the defeat itself will have made us larger than when we arrived. We long for the encounter that will ultimately empower us with dignity and honor....Be not mistaken: the longing is there and it's terrible and beautiful and tragic. (From Richard Heckler)
