This terrible accident reminds us all of how precious life is and to cherish the time we have here with our families and friends. My heart goes out to the family and knowing that we can't bring Michael back; we can be there for the family and continue to support them through this most difficult time.

Blessed are the Peace Makers, for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew 5:9

This man was a very wonderful man. i didn't know him long but he left a huge impression on me. When we had a big event or something he would call my advisor up to see how well we did. he didn't know us but cared tremendously. He never cared about himself just people around him. im glad he wasn't alone in his time of passing and we all know he'll be up there protecting us. RIP- youll be missed soo much.

Each time I see another name added here, my heart breaks. Deputy Deese, thanks for your service to the citizens/travelers of S.C. I'm so sorry that your family has to endure losing you and Sonja. I pray the Lord will wrap his loving arms around them and carry them through the "oh so difficult" days ahead. You will never be forgotten and your family will be in my prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Deputy Deese.

"They do not teach that their God will rouse them a little before the nuts work loose. They do not teach that His Pity allows them to drop their jobs when they dam'-well choose. As in the thronged and the lighted ways, so in the dark and desert they stand, Wary and watchful all their days that their brethren's day may be long in the land."

Rudyard Kipling, "The Sons of Martha":

We are so proud of you and your dedication to serve the citizens of Dorchester County and the State of South Carolina.

To Mike's family, please know that Mike will never be forgotten but will be forever honored for the ultimate sacrifice. It is a difficult journey that lies ahead for all, but remember to keep the faith and lean on the Lord, and He will carry you through.

Blessings and peace to the Dorchester County Sheriff's Department and the many officers with whom Mike worked.

It is comforting to know that they will together patrol the streets of Heaven.

May God comfort those left behind as they start their new realities.

"We'll Carry On"

We kiss our families goodbye and most of us go out into a world that few of you will ever see or know anything about. Statistics show that over half of us will one day come home to an empty house and note saying, “Goodbye, I can’t take this job anymore.”

But, We Carry On.

We know we have a job with one of the highest divorce, suicide and mental illness rates in the world.

But, We Carry On.

You curse us when we stop you for speeding. You weren’t there two hours ago when we covered the body of a three-year-old child, killed by a speeding car.

But We Carry On.

We’ll intervene in fights and take the beating meant for you, knowing that you wouldn’t do the same for us and probably won’t even thank us.

But We Carry On.

We investigate the murders, rapes and robberies and have to watch the victims’ families weep in court when a judge has to release the suspect on a small technicality.

But We Carry On.

We see families wiped out in accidents. Then we listen as the person who did it is fined $100 for drunk driving and given a limited drinking privilege so he can get back an forth to work and church on Sundays.

But, We Carry On.

We know that if you hit us, unprovoked, you’ll probably get a fine in court, for assault. We know that if we hit you, unprovoked, we could lose our jobs and everything we own for police brutality.

But, We Carry On.

The uniform is not armor. It won’t stop bullets, knives, bricks or sticks. We have gone in burning buildings, burning cars and icy waters to try to save lives. Some of us lose our in the process.

But, We Carry On.

We are part mediator, problem solver, professional driver, weapons expert, guidance and marriage counselor. We are part analyst, lawyer, fireman and doctor, and sometimes boxer and wrestler. Does your job require this much and sometimes even more? I doubt it. We know all of this.

But, We Carry On.

We’re not expected to be the one thing we are – human beings. Sometimes, though, we forget and act like them. We get angry, we say or do something we shouldn’t. Please forgive us. But if you don’t…

We’ll Carry On.
