Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

You are my great-grandfather that I never had a chance to know. You enlisted in the Civil War as a young teen and survived that but lost your life in the line of duty hunting a criminal. It is 123 years later and you are NOT FORGOTTEN! Rest in peace.

Rest in Peace Deputy Rube T. Mattox. Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice protecting the citizens of Wood County, Texas.

I Pray for Peace for your ancestors and the men and women who now serve the Wood County Sheriff's Department. I also Pray that even though your murderer escaped justice on this earth that the hounds of hell are forever gnawing on his bones.

Amen.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 112th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

I just wanted to let your family and friends know that there are many out there who know the pain that you feel today. My brother Roger was killed 4 years ago today. You are in the thoughts and prayers of many folks who care. I pray that God will bless you with many precious happy memories to help fill your heart "especially today".
