Reflections for Police Officer David Christopher Uribe
To a family that has sacrificed so much throughout David's 22 years, I thank you for allowing David to follow his calling.
To a brother who served selflessly, thank you David for your service and dedication to the people of Phoenix. God Bless, I'll see you when I get there.

Brother in arms, you fell for the cause.
The loss of your life has given me pause.
Tho' we fought the same fight, not quite side by side,
My grief at your passing is not easy to hide.
But fight on we must, for that is our charge.
I ask that you watch us, as forward we march.
You've earned your relief, so sleep without fear.
Rest easy my brother. We'll take it from here.

Another brother lost. Another family broken. I ache inside for the loss left with your family. At the same time I feel great pride knowing you still stand among us, protecting those left behind, guiding us. Many will never know the sacrifice made by so few who are willing to take up arms and keep our community safe. God speed Officer Uribe and thank your willingness to serve and protect!

David,
I'll never forget working with you, or how proud you were that Adam followed you. He was the best partner I ever had, and to this day I love him like a brother. God bless you for all you have done, and for raising such an amazing son.

It saddens me to read that another officer has lost his life while protecting those he had vowed to serve. My heart goes out to his family and to the Phoenix Police Department. The Department was so good to my nephew, Nathan, when he had to catch a flight to Seattle, Washington, to be with his father, Federal Way Officer, Pat Maher, who also was shot in the line of duty. Thanks to their efforts, Nathan was able to get to Washington--but not in time to say good-bye. Perhaps Pat and Nathan greeted officer Uribe in heaven. Strength to all those who grieve.
