Whether he realized it or not, Trooper Leonard was an ordained minister of God's institution of Justice through Civil Government, as are all law enforcement officers. We owe Trooper Leonard and his family our unfailing gratitude, respect, and honor for his selfless commitment.
The Word of God, in Romans 13:4, says, "For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil."
It is my prayer that Trooper Leonard had a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through being spiritually born again. Jesus Himself said that this alone was necessary in order to see Heaven.
John 3:3 says, "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
If he could speak to again, Trooper Leonard would tell you that Jesus was telling the truth, for now he sees past the veil.
For Trooper Leonard's family, my prayers for strength, courage, and peace go out to you. God bless you.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

God Speed Brother, we have the watch from here. It is always hard to hear about the loss of a Brother or Sister, but know that you will never be forgotten, but always loved and remembered. Those of us left to stand the watch know that you will be keeping a watchful eye on us from above. May God be with your family, friends and fellow Troops now more then ever. Rest easy Brother...
