"One thing I know: the only ones who will be really happy are those who have sought and found a way to serve." Albert Schweitzer.
Your officer found his way to serve.
Nothing can replace your officer, but I pray that the memories you have of him in happy times will help to ease the pain you're feeling now.
I will dedicate this next weekend's DUI patrol to Officer Darren Medlin.
Rest easy, Brother; you will never be forgotten.

I met Darren only a couple of times, but the impression that I got was that he was good friend to all that knew him. He will be terribly missed by his family and co-workers. My thought and prayers are with the Medlin family and his fellow officers of the Grapevine Police Department. Go rest high on that mountain Darren, rest in the arms of the lord.

There are never words to express ones feelings from such a tragic loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Darren, his family, and to his extended family: the men and women around the world who wear the badge. To paraphrase ODMP's words, It's not just Grapevine PD who lost an officer and friend, the entire nation did.

I AM HOME IN HEAVEN, DEAR ONES;
OH, SO HAPPY AND SO BRIGHT!
THERE IS PERFECT JOY AND BEAUTY
IN THE EVERLASTING LIGHT.

ALL THE PAIN AND GRIEF IS OVER,
EVERY RESTLESS TOSSING PASSED;
I AM NOW AT PEACE FOREVER,
SAFELY HOME IN HEAVEN AT LAST.

DID YOU WONDER I SO CALMLY
TROD THE VALLEY OF THE SHADE?
OH! BUT JESUS LOVE ILLUMINED
EVERY DARK AND FEARFUL GLADE.

AND HE CAME HIMSELF TO MEET ME
IN THAT WAY SO HARD TO TREAD;
AND WITH JESUS ARM TO LEAB ON,
COULD i HAVE ONE DOUBT OR DREAD?

THEN YOU MUST GRIEVE SO SORELY,
FOR I LOVE YOU DEARLY STILL:
TRY TO LOOK BEYOND EARTH'S SHADOWS,
PRAY TO TRUST OUR FATHER'S WILL.

THERE IS WORK STILL WAITING FOR YOU,
SO YOU MUST NOT IDLY STAND;
DO IT NOW, WHILE LIFE REMAINETH-
YOU SHALL REST IN JESUS' LAND.

WHEN THAT WORK IS ALL COMPLETED,
HE WILL GENTLY CALL YOU HOME;
OH, THE RAPTURE OF THAT MEETING,
OH THE JOY TO SEE YOU COME!
