God set this man on earth and chose him to protect of all of his many children. That is a task that he embraced and that made him special. Rest assured that God has a special place for this man, this husband, this son, this hero...

Officer Ryan Cappeletty was not a man that I personally knew, but I can not begin to explain the deep affects that his death has caused in both the Police force as well as within the community. Cappelletty's fellow Chesterfield officers, his family, friends, and I know that Officer Cappeletty was not only a valuable officer, but also a wonderful friend. The loss of this amazing person will leave a gap in the community, as well as in our hearts. My thoughts and prayers go out to all that are grieving in this time of loss. God Bless Ryan Cappelletty, a man who gave his life so that others could live.

Deputy Joshua Taylor
Liberty County Sheriff's Dept., Liberty, TX>

I had this friend you see, who loved
God, Country, You and me.
My friend went to work day or night
the peace to keep, so you and I could sleep.
He worked the holidays and weekends,
away from family and friends.
To keep this peace for you and me.
Each day this friend put his life on the line
to spare yours and mine
Then one day he paid the price, he gave his life.
You've done well my friend, patrolling these earthly
streets.
Now its time to walk on Heaven's beat.
The next time you see a Police Officer or two,
remember they are one of God's Angels in blue.
"Blessed are the Peace Makers".

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends, and co-workers of Officer Cappelletty. You will never be forgotten, Brother.

i would just like to say i am so sorry for your loss my prayers are with you and yours.

I was friends with Ryan in high school here in Erie, PA. I just heard the shocking news. All of us here are greatly saddened by the loss, and I pray for his family and his wife's in this difficult time.

Jesse Graffius

Ryan's sacrafice no doubt saved the lives of many citizens and fellow officers that cloudy Wednesday morning. From the Police Memorial, "It is not how Ryan died that made him a hero, it is how he lived." May God extend a special blessing upon him, his bride, his family, his friends, his academy classmates and all of the Chesterfield County emergency workers who give the all everyday and a gave even more on this day.

Rest in peace blue angel. Thank you for your service. A sad sad story.

To one of our fallen brothers...although many of us did not know you personally we are deeply saddened by the news of your untimely death. Virginia's law enforcement community has been hit hard in 2003 with officers killed in the line of duty. It never gets any easier for those of us who wear blue. Officer Cappelletty, although your time on earth was short, and your time protecting the streets even shorter, you did NOT die in vain! You are a brave hero. Please keep watch on all your brothers and sisters left down here while you patrol the streets of gold above!

Virginia Commonwealth University Police Department

Today another brother fell, another tear drop runs down our face. To all hold on to each other and together you will find away to get though. The going will be tough be you will overcome.
