Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

my precious son
another year has passed and i made it thru. i still cant believe that 6 years have gone by and i am still here. i guess god still needs to work on me. i miss you so that just the thought of your walk, voice and laugh bring me tears. i cant wait until we are all reunited in heaven. i am so grateful for the support we have received - but nothing replaces you. i love you always and forever...

Your heroism and service is honored today, the sixth anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

To your loved ones: I understand the meaning of lives forever altered, and know that the hurt of losing a beloved never goes away...the pain and pride are forever. I pray for your solace. To your mom, your love for Daniel radiates in your reflections and I know you and your family miss him each and every day. Losing a child is surely one of life's greatest sorrows and it is a physical ache that is always present, but I know each memory is like a precious jewel. To his friends, thank you for being such a strong support system for his family...that is such a blessing and you are honoring your brother when you care for his family.

Rest In Peace, Daniel.

It has been 6 years now, and I can still remember the last time I saw you. You were an inspiration to so many people and didn't even know it. I know your watching down from heaven over us all! You are greatly missed Dan!

Officer Starks - Thank you for your service. Your dedication, willingness to serve and Sacrifice will always be honored and never forgotten. Your family and friends will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Jessica - It's so great to see such a dedicated and loyal fiance, although many are out there. Officer Starks was truly lucky to have you by his side. I hope over the years some of the memories bring tears of happiness instead of tears of sadness and smiles instead of frowns. Your officer left as a Hero, and I hope that brings some comfort as well. You, as well as the rest of the family, will remain in my prayers.

Rest easy Brother...

Daniel,

How many nights did we sit on the front of the fire truck and talk to ungodly hours of the night? I remember you talking about what you wanted to do with your life, and it always revolved around being a police officer. I was proud to see you wearing the FMPD uniform, and knew you would make a great officer. I know this is years down the road from your passing, but I felt compelled to leave a note. Thank you for your service Dan, and thank you to the family for your unrepayable sacrifice you have given to this community. Your son is not forgotten and his memory still remains in so many lives!

Merry Christmas, Dan! Hope you and all the boys up there have fun over the holidays, but not too much fun!

Keep Jess safe as she travels, please. She's been such a blessing to me over the last few years.

Also pay some special visits to your mom and dad and touch them with your angel wings. I know they'd love to feel your presence again.

Love,
GA Jess (the original!!)

Another year has passed and for some the time you have been gone feels like yesterday while for others it has felt like a lifetime since they heard your voice, saw your smile and felt your warm touch. I know their daily struggle as I walk in their shoes and know that each day is filled with thoughts and memories of you. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones and also those still out on patrol guarding over the thin blue line. You have not been forgotten.

Well Dan, another officer went and joined you today in Heaven from FMPD. It is so, sad that this has to happen. Why can't life just be free of bad people and bad things. I don't understand it at all. Im really mad, and sad about this whole thing. I don't I understand why this has to happen to your department all over again. None of them deserve to be dealt this kind of loss again. It is not fair. They serve the public so well, get little appreciation, and then this happens. We will never know why.

I'm sure you have met up with the Officer. You are probably showing him the ropes up there. Your mom and I always joke that you are probably the one in Heaven directing the new angels on where to go and get thier halos. :) That's what you always did..helped people and showed them the right way to go.

As I sit here and think about this I can only pray for the officers family..his wife and three young children. I think about if we had ever had kids and something like this happened. It was horrific when you died and it gets so much more complicated when children are involved as well.

Well, take good care of him up there, please. I know you will.

- Jess

Just stopping in to say hello, looked for you in Washington, left a candle at the wall for Daniel and the other boys that are such a part of our lives now. Think of you often and remember how you stepped in to help us with our pain.
