Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

ANOTHER DARK DAY IN THE HISTORY OF OUR DEPARTMENT IS RECALLED AS WE HONOR THE MEMORY OF THIS BRAVE YOUNG MAN. A MAN WHO,ON THIS DAY FOUR YEARS AGO,GAVE HIS OWN LIFE PROTECTING SOMEONE HE HAD NEVER MET. IT'S VERY HARD NOT TO ADMIRE SOMEONE WHO WOULD DO THAT. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THE PAIN ENDURED BY HIS DEAR FAMILY HAS EASED SOMEWHAT AND THAT THE PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF DANIEL ARE STILL FRESH IN THEIR MINDS. MAY HE REST IN PEACE AND MAY HIS FAMILY FIND SOME LEVEL OF COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT THE WAY HE LIVED AND HOW HE DIED WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 4th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was murdered on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I hold your family in thought and prayer today, and pray for their solace.

Rest In Peace.

Been thinking about you alot lately. Tomorrow will be 4 years. I wish i could say it gets easier. I see your brother at Football games and I see you in him. I know you watch over all us. Sometimes when i get extra frustrated at work, i remember, sometimes its the breeze that kicked up at the funeral at just the right time, sometimes its your beaming smile, sometimes its our conversation about SNAKES. But its like you are reminding me why i do what i do and that helps. RIP my friend. Miss you today like we lost you yesterday.

Golden I miss you more everyday man and I always drive around and look at places I had good and funny memories with you. You were a great officer and an even better friend which says a lot because you were a great officer and anyone who worked with you knew that. Im proud of the fact you were such a great friend of mine and we shared so many laughs and anytime I needed something on duty or off duty you were the first one there for me. Just know many people are honoring you and the sacrifice you made this week and remembering you. Your friend,

Knowing that Chelsi is your step daughter,I know that you would be so proud of her.I saw your Mom at the tournament. Chelsi did so good. Your Mom smiled, & I know it was because you would have been so proud, so she was there for you. Chelsi is spunky just like you & so athletic. I know you are in her heart.

A PRAYER FOR DANIEL. TEACH ME THAT SIXTY MINUTES MAKE AN HOUR, SIXTEEN OUNCES A POUND AND ONE HUNDRED CENTS A DOLLAR. HELP ME SO TO LIVE THAT I CAN LIE DOWN AT NIGHT WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE, WITHOUT A GUN UNDER MY PILLOW, AND UNHAUNTED BY THE FACES OF THOSE TO WHOM I HAVE BROUGHT PAIN. GRANT THAT I MAY EARN MY MEAL TICKET ON THE SQUARE, AND IN EARNING IT, I MAY DO UNTO OTHERS AS I WOULD HAVE OTHERS DO UNTO ME. DEAFEN ME TO THE JINGLE OF TAINTED MONEY AND TO THE RUSTLE OF UNHOLY SKIRTS. BLIND ME TO THE FAULTS OF THE OTHER FELLOW, BUT REVEAL TO ME MY OWN. GUIDE ME SO THAT EACH NIGHT WHEN I LOOK ACROSS THE DINNER TABLE AT MY WIFE, WHO HAS BEEN A BLESSING TO ME, I SHALL HAVE NOTHING TO CONCEAL. KEEP ME YOUNG ENOUGH TO LAUGH WITH LITTLE CHILDREN AND SYMPATHETIC ENOUGH TO BE CONSIDERATE OF OLD AGE. AND WHEN COMES THE DAY OF DARKENING SHADES AND THE SMELL OF FLOWERS, THE TREAD OF SOFT FOOTSTEPS AND THE CRUNCHING OF WHEELS IN THE YARD, MAKE THE CEREMONY SHORT AND THE EPITAPH SIMPLE. "HERE LIES A MAN".

Merry Christmas little brother. We had a lot of great Christmas mornings together. Many of those times you woke me up at 3 or 4 in the morning. I miss those times we had at Aunt Ruth's house.

Daniel,

I'll be riding in the Police Unity Tour, Chapter 4, for you, your family, and your department this year. I'm honored to be doing so and hope that I will reflect well on all involved. I only wish that there were something more that I could do.

Finally, your family can see justice done. They deserve justice. My heart bleeds for them as I cannot begin to imagine the heartache and suffering they have endured. The Bible tells us "judge not lest ye be judged". I could not judge Albarran. That was best left to the courts, and they have done society in general a great big favor. Rest in peace knowing justice has been served!

The judge agreed with the jury and sentenced Albarran to death today. Hopefully it won't be too long until he will finally get what he deserves, but not before he gets to see what real crazy criminal are like at Atmore. Miss you.

Thanks, Judge Hall, for imposing the death penalty on Albarran today. It is our hope that the judge over Shipp's trial, whether it is you or someone else, is just as professional and responsible in their duties.

Its been 3 years brother. I still expect you to walk in roll call with those gloves in your back pocket. We had a pretty good showing last week. Dee did a good job with it. I had to fuss at her though for not asking for help. Things are stilldifferent with out you here. I miss you brother and wish I could talk to you agian. I still get to hear your voice every now and then when I call Dee. Yeah She still has that voice mail message you made that got all of us. I know your in a better place but it sure did make this place a little brighter when you were here with us. I know I'll see you again someday, and cant wait till I can hear one of your stories. Till then brother watch over and protect us while were out there on the street.

I just wanted to put in words the pride I had watching your mom and dad, your brother, and your wife stand together and show everyone the Love they have for you and the love they have for all of us. I cannot imagine how hard it was for them to stand in front of everyone and bare the raw emotion they were feeling. I cannot imagine the strength they have to do what they have done and continue to do. They give me strength, kinda like you used to :) and continue to do. I miss you so much Golden, and think of you ALL the time! I pray for everyone back home that feels your loss, but I know, I KNOW you are watching all of us. And that gives me peace.
