Rest in peace my brother—You will not be forgotten. You have done your duty.
You, your family, and all those that have been affected by your passing are in my family’s prayers.

In April, 1999 I had the pleasure of visiting your city and the distinct privilege of touring your Sheriff's Office. I met many wonderful Officers on my visit, and I'm sure that you were very proud to have served there, and that the office was proud to have had you as one of their fine Deputies. I am sure they are very proud of you, and I know you will not be forgotten by any of them. You now have a much more important role and that is to watch over not only the officers in Greenville, but all of us throughout the world. Rest in Peace, Brother. You have served with pride and dignity. God Bless you.

There are but two persons who protect the sinful human race from destroying itself. One is God's Holy Spirit. The other is the Peace Officer. Without them, we would all perish at each other's hands.
You were called into this profession and our Lord and Savior has blessed you because:
According to Romans 13.1-5...
God ordains the Peace Officer’s profession.
The Peace Officer is sent by God.
The Peace Officer is vested with God's authority to enforce the law.
A Peace Officer's badge is to be honored by us, because it is honored by God.
You gave the ultimate sacrifice, your life for your fellow man, while serving, defending, and protecting others in your community.
To the family of Deputy Sheriff Andrew Mazur and the Greenville County Sheriff's Office, your extended family of Law Enforcement Officers grieves with you during this time. I pray that God will wrap his loving arms around each of you and comfort you during this most difficult time.
To all my brothers and sisters, please remember the fallen officers we have lost. Remember the men and women who died trying to make this world a safer and better place for us all to live in. Please pray for this officer's family and friends as they struggle with this tragedy.
May God be with you every day, please remember, we are a part of the largest family in the world and when one hurts we all hurt.
Though our badges and uniforms may be different, our mission is the same. Rest in peace with our other fallen Brothers and Sisters. We will continue the fight in your honor.

Rest in Peace-
THE POLICEMAN'S LAST ROLL CALL ...
THE POLICEMAN STOOD AND FACED HIS GOD, WHICH MUST ALWAYS COME TO PASS. HE
HOPED HIS SHOES WERE SHINING, JUST AS BRIGHTLY AS HIS BRASS. "STEP FORWARD
NOW, POLICEMAN. HOW SHALL I DEAL WITH YOU? HAVE YOU ALWAYS TURNED THE OTHER
CHEEK? TO MY CHURCH HAVE YOU BEEN TRUE?"
THE POLICEMAN SQUARED his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a Saint. I've had to
work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I've been
violent because the streets are awfully tough. But I never took a penny that
wasn't mine to keep, though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just
got to steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though times I shook with
fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept many unmanly tears. I know I
don't deserve a place among the people here, they never wanted me around
except to calm their fear. If you've a place for me Lord, it needn't be so
grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne where the Saints had often trod. As
the policeman waited quietly, for the judgement of his God. "Step forward
now, policeman, you've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven's
streets, you've done your time in hell."

I am so saddened to hear of the death of this fine young officer. He was just getting started in this career and had his life ahead of him. What a senseless tragedy. This hurts all of us in the family of the badge.
At least the suspect won't do this again.
Deputy Mazur now patrols the streets of Heaven with St. Michael. I pray for his family, especially his wife, his friends and his colleagues. The GCSO lost a fine officer.
God Bless and be safe out there.

What an incredible tragedy that an officer so young, with an entire career of law enforcement ahead of him, is taken from us. Yet he accomplished his mission - he dedicated his life to the service of others. This commitment will not be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and those who served with him in the Greenville County Sheriff's Office.
