Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To the family, friends and co-workers my prayers are with you. There's not much anyone can say that will help you through this nightmare. The one thing that kept going through my mind was how much Clint loved being a Police Officer and helping people. So I know that Clint died loving what he did and would not have traded places with anyone. I still miss Clint everyday, just as I know that you will miss Brian.
Deputy Tephford you are a true hero, and I will never forget the sacrifice you and your family have made to make this country a safer place for my family.
Brian look Clint up for me tell him his mother says hello and she still misses him.

We Remember the Officers

We remember the officers who changed our lives,
The men and woman who protected us day and night,
People who respect for their dedication to the cause,
For when faced with danger, they never even pause.
We remember the officers who always stood true,
Whatever the color of uniform, brown, green or blue,
With pride and integrity they say To serve and protect,
For the giving of their life, we offer our respect.
We remember the officers who we never really knew,
Persons strong enough to answer the challenge are few,
With heavy hearts we mourn the officers in eternal rest,
There's more to these people than the badge on their chest.

For a reason unknown to us, God needed another blue angel to help patrol the streets in Heaven. Still, our hearts ache for those who lost their friend and co-worker. We grieve with your wife and children who are going to need the love and support of many to help them through this tragedy. Our prayers are with all of you, that God will hold you in the palm of His hand, and give you the strength to carry on. This was a senseless tragedy, and it breaks our hearts that these horrible acts continue to happen. God bless each and every one of you; you are in the thoughts and prayers of thousands of people from all over the country. And to those of you serving on the thin blue line, our heartfelt thanks and gratitude. Be safe.

FINAL CALL

An angel in the sky must leave his place of rest,
gently tucking his wings beneath his armored vest.
For duty has called, there is much work to do,
little did He know, this one’s dressed in blue.
Arriving on the scene, He knows just what to say,
"Follow me my fallen Brother, I’ll show you the way".
"Your duty here has ended, now your work is through".
"Come rest your hat beside mine...for I’m a cop too".

God bless the Tephford family and know that he is a hero and will always be remembered as such.

As I herd the news and saw your picture. I realized you graduated in Ryan's class. Words cant express how hard it is to see another amazing officer gone. Things brings back so many sad and hard times from when we lost Ryan. I pray for your family and friends. I hope God gives them the strength to be strong threw this time. I am so sorry for your family, you are a hero and you and Ryan are up above watching over everyone. I hope and pray you both keep everyone else safe from your class, your families, and your friends. As this is been the year I want to erase. I pray it will end and we dont loose anyone else. You will always be a hero, you & ryan are together in Heaven. Please watch over all of us, You & Ryan both. Now there are two amazing angels watching over us. I will keep your family & friends in my prayers that they stay strong together & get threw this with the help of everyone who loves you. Another angel is above watching over & protecting us from this world we live in. May God comfort your family and friends and hold them close to his heart.
