To the family and coworkers of Lt. Walker. I cannot imagine a greater sense of frustation and loss then that which you are going through. I pray this is the last time that you experience this pain. Unfortunately, I know this pain well. The loss of brave people and servants of humanity should never occur, but it does.
While I know that my words are from afar please take comfort in the knowledge that the brotherhood of law enforcement, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, shares your pain.
The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office in Fayetteville North Carolina offers our heartfelt prayers and thoughts to the members of the California Highway Patrol and the family of Lt. Michael Walker.

Brother Walker,
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

It was at the funeral services for CHP Officer Andy Stevens, that I first heard the California Highway Patrol's Code of Honor. In it is the promise to, "Assist those in peril or distress, and, if necessary, lay down my life rather than swerve from the path of duty."
Anybody who has worked or driven Highway 17 on a good day knows about danger. Any officer who works that road in the dark with heavy fog in wet conditions (as our local Highway Patrol staff bravely does on a regular basis) is clearly displaying their selfless commitment to public service.
Certainly, Lt. Walker's efforts at the crash scene were life saving for other travelers.
May we all show our appreciation for Lt. Walker's sacrifice by gathering around his family and providing them comfort during their dreadful time of loss.
Rest in peace Sir. You have earned it.
