Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

How sad, the loss of a fine veteran officer so senselessly. I offer my condolences to Chief LeMaster's family, friends and colleagues. He died a hero's death.

I hope that the juvenile animals that did this terrible act are dealt with swiftly and appropriately by the courts.

The Chief now patrols the streets of Heaven with St. Michael. His death is not in vain. God Blesss and be safe.

As a former Marshall County Deputy Sheriff, I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Chief LeMaster. Verlon was well respected by the community he served and fellow officers. He was a friend to everyone who knew him.

Rest in Peace Chief LeMaster, and may God be with your family,friends and the Town of Grant

Rest In Peace Chief! and may justice be swift and sure for the gutless scum that did this.

Today I stood among several fellow Brothers in Blue as we remembered and paid tribute to a fellow officer and dear friend. Many law enforcement agencies, fire and rescue units, and friends paid their last respect to Verlon in a ceremony that was fitting of a man of his caliber and position. As Attorney General Bill Pryor quoted in the Chief's service, "Greater love hath no man then this, that he lay down his life for his friends" John 15:13

Grant 360 you will be missed.

No amount of words can comfort the family right now in thier time of grief. The only thing we can hope for is that they have God's comforting love to see them through.

To the family and friends of Cheif LeMaster I would like to extend my deepest symapthy. While I was the Station Commander & Army Recuiter in Albertville, AL, from April 1999 until June 2003, I covered the Grant area. I had the opportunity to talk with him on dozens of occations. He was a great man in the Grant community that gave his entire life for his hometown. He will be sorely missed, but will live forever in our memories.

We are going to miss this fine man. He was a friend to all, and, an Angel here on Earth, He always had a smile, and a friendly word for everyone. He watched over us all, and we have the comfort of knowing that he is in Heaven watching over us still. May God Bless his family, and friends.....
We Love You Verlon.......

I just learned of this memorial page two weeks ago when the Lord called my husband home. My son and I are so touched by the support from the Law Enforcement Family. I wish I good say something to help with the pain the family, friends and coworkers are feeling, but there are none. The Chief is in a better place.

God Speed Verlon! You were loved and respected by everyone who knew you. Please watch over my brothers as well as all the men and women who serve and protect us. God chose a wonderful angel to look over them all. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

I have been a resident of Grant for less than 3 years, but always had heard good things about Chief LeMasters. I saw him come and go around town, but talked to him for the first time last week and was reassured of a competent and capable town servant.
Being in a small town, I feel so much more secure than in a big city (like I was raised in). This has been such a shock.
My his family know that we are in prayer for their peace and comfort. We know he is in such a greater place and will be their to greet us, but there is an empty spot in our hearts.
We need deal with our grief as life goes on, but place our trust in God that He will renew our spirits and send His Comforter to family and loved ones.
May the Lord Bess the family greatly.

We have lived in Grant for 5 years. I find myself looking for you, Verlon. I see you directing traffic for the school, you are patroling our streets, or just being a friend and neighbor. Our community will never be the same nor will you be forgotten. I can only pray for your family, friends and your community--for we are the ones lost without you. I know the Lord has great plans for you and all of us who love him. May we see you again someday sitting at God's feet. We honor you for the sacrifice you have made.
