Standing at your funeral today, I realized that it was more of an expression of love, and that love can conquer all. The many officers and citizens who stood in silence to honor your heroic sacrifice were there out of love and respect for you and your family. We all feel the loss, but I also realized the deep connection that we all have to each other in coming together to honor your sacrifice and celebrate your life. God bless your family.

What can you say? There are no words to put this in perspective. There is no reason for you to not be here anymore. But you made the ultimate sacrifice for the people of Orange. They are thankful for your sacrifice. I know I am. Farewell my brother....

My family and I wish to extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Kieran. Good friends always stay in your thoughts. I always remember Kieran as different from the rest. Making good out of every situation is what stands in my memory the most. Making you laugh even if you didn't want to. That was back in highschool and from what I know now, he hadn't changed. I am blessed to have known him. May GOD bless his wife and children as his spirit lives in you.

Detective Shields,

A brother officer to us all that serve within the law enforcement community. May God Bless your wife, children and others that held you so close to their heart's. You went out here to do a job that you loved to protect the innocent against deception the weak against oppression or intimidation and the peaceful against violence and disorder. You made the ultimate sacrifice that so many before you had to make the to keep the peace in the land.

YOU WILL BE MISSED AND NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!!!!

My sincere sympathy to the entire Shield family. Although I did not know Det. Kieran personally, I still felt heart broken because of the connection I still have with the City of Orange as well as other members of the Orange Police Department. I pray that God will continue to give you all strength and comfort during this time of mourning. Just remember, look to the hills from which cometh your help ~ your help cometh from the Lord!

Love, Peace, and Blessings!

To the family of this brave officer who gave his life defending the rights and safety of all he served remember this: he loved you all above all else and if he could have chosen to stay, he would be with you now, but God needed another Guardian Angel to stand watch and he recruited one of the best.
May God bless and keep you in this painful and sorrowful time. May you always turn your faces to the sun and feel the love he has for you.
