Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

"My Brother"

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was idealistic and believed he could make a difference.
He was immensely proud of the uniform and the badge and what they represent.
He felt privileged to be of service to his department, his community and to his country.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was friendly, courteous, and polite, yet firm.
He laughed and joked, but was serious when necessary.
He was competent, trained, and professional.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He had a strong sense of right and wrong and became
frustrated when true justice became sidetracked.
He felt the sharp criticism that goes with the job, but he
never wavered.
He stood by and for his fellow officers.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He longed for his family during the long hours.
He worried about them during his shifts and the lonely
weekends, holidays and midnights when they were apart.
He felt guilty about the lost time, but knew his calling
and prayed they would understand.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was a good son, a loving husband, and a devoted father.
He was dedicated to the profession and cared about the
people he served.
He wanted to do the best job that he could and strived to
be the best he could be.
He was a good citizen and a good neighbor.

He was a cop.

Yes, I did know him.
He was a cop, he was my Brother.

Rest easy Brother Nevarez, we have the watch...

To the family and loved ones of Border Patrol Agent Ramon Nevarez Jr. and his fellow agents with the U.S. Border Patrol:

On behalf of our family, I want to extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Agent Nevarez was tragically killed in the line of duty. His valor and dedication will never be forgotten.

In reading the loving reflections left by family and friends, it is obvious that Ramon was an amazing young man who touched many lives in a positive way. I can see that he is so loved and will be missed by so many.

The circumstances of his death were heart breaking and I know caused much anquish for all those affected.
To Ramon's mother, I share your agony in losing a cherished child and know that the lives of everyone who called him beloved have been forever changed. To his wife and all his family, I pray that you find comfort in your faith, your family and friends as you struggle with this devastating loss. May you be embraced by your law enforcement family and other police survivors who share this journey with you.

May Ramon's spirit continue to soar and his memory continue to inspire. May God hold Ramon and his family in the warmest part of his heart and the most gentle part of his soul. Heaven has two new heroes today, but how I wish it were not your Ramon and his brother in arms.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the unselfish and distinquished service Ramon gave to his community and the citizens of our country, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on March 15, 2007.
