Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

A finer man, father, son and friend has never existed. He was always there when I needed a friend. He was a very hard working officer and detective that always took the time to do it right for the community and department he served.
After 24 years I will miss his friendship deeply.
God Bless you Mike.

Detective Thomas:

It is amazing to me that even in the course of doing something as simple as stopping at an intersection puts the life of a law enforcement officer at risk. It happens more than we can stand to think about. I am so sorry this happened to you. Thank you for your service and dedication. I pray for peace and love remembered in the hearts of your loved ones. We will never forget - Heroes live Forever!

Such a tragedy for a young officer to be taken from us so early in his life with so much I am certain he wanted to do. God has a plan and Officer Thomas is part of that Great Design.
We here at the Canon City Internet Radio send our deepest sympathies and condolences to te family, loved, friends, loved ones and the sisters and brothers who wear the badge of law enforcement.
"A Part Of America Died",
Somebody killed a policeman today,
And part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect,
Will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect that shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights.
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids,
And spend many long lonely nights.
The beat he walked was a battle field too
just as if he had gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
In your town or mine,
While we slept in comfort behind locked doors,
A cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
And stands at each new rookies' side.
He answered the call,of himself and gave his all,
And a part of America died.

To the family, friends, and officers that knew Det. Thomas, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the trying times ahead of you. Please know your not alone.

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest
