Special Agent Sentner, I thank you for your efforts to eradicate some of those who taint a part of the justice system. You will be forever memorialized on this site but those who caused your death, and more especially, the one who murdered you, will be nothing in no time at all. Only your family and co-workers will forever remember the name of that individual.
May you find eternal rest and peace in Heaven, Brother.

YESTERDAY IS HISTORY, TOMORROW IS A MYSTERY AND TODAY IS A GIFT.
SPECIAL AGENT SENTNER, YOU REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND. I SALUTE YOU! MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU, YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. YOU DID NOT LOSE YOUR LIFE, YOU GAVE IT IN SERVICE TO OTHERS. A TRUE HERO INDEED.
THOSE CLOSE TO THIS HERO, PLEASE TAKE COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT I, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS ACROSS THIS LAND, GRIEVE WITH YOU. MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
THE UNTHINKABLE HAS HAPPENED HERE. A REAL TRAGEDY. ONE WAY OF THINKING ABOUT THIS TO HELP EVERYBODY THROUGH IT, IS TO BELIEVE THAT THIS SUSPECT WAS NOT A TRUE "LEO". TO HIM IT WAS "JUST A JOB". TO THE REST OF YOU, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! I PRAY FOR YOU EVERY DAY!

Buddy became a Special Agent with the USSS shortly after I did in 1993, and we both transferred from the Service to other agencies in 2002. He served proudly as an Officer with the USSS Uniformed Division prior to becoming an Agent. I had the pleasure of working with Buddy for almost 10 years, and am deeply saddened by his passing, especially since it was by the hand of a fellow officer. May God bless him and his family, and may he rest in eternal peace.

The animal who murdered you was not nor was he ever a law enforcement officer. He was a wolf in sheeps clothing that you detected and tried to bring to justice. Thank you, Agent Sentner, for your service to us. We shall march on in your honor.

My deepest condolences. As for myself, I would not call the one who took your life "A brother Officer". A true Law Enforcement Brother would not do something like this. He was and died a criminal...You sir, the one who gave his life, is a true brother in arms. My condolences you your family.

It is times such as this that try our fortitude as officers and citizens, knowing a fellow blue could do something as insane as this. I pray for the family of this agent and celebrate the ultimate sacrifice in which he endured. This man was a true hero and should be honored to the highest abilities. Thank you Agent Sentner. God bless and keep you. We will continue the fight....always blue.

It makes me so angry to think of the "man" that took your life and took you from all those who knew and loved you. You were doing a job I know was not easy... I will never forget the sacrifice you made. Thank you, Buddy, for all you did for our country and your community.
