It is always sad to see an officer die in the line of duty. It is especially hard to read about a officer who had little time to fall in love with the job losing his life. My condolences go out to his family, friends, and department.

I am saddened by the lose of Deputy Villegas. I do not know him or his family, but my brother was a sheriff of Riverside County, and his birthday was on the day you were taken from us. I am so sorry for your wife, children and family. I feel your pain. Please know that I am thinking of you and your family.

“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.

No farewells were spoken,
There were no time for goodbyes.
You were gone before we knew it
and only God knows why.
If tears could build a stairway
and memories build a lane,
we would walk the path to Heaven
and bring you back again.
Friends may think we've forgotton
when at times they see us smile,
little do they know the heartache
our smiles hide all the while.
To some you may be gone,
for others a part of the past;
But for those who loved and lost you,
YOUR MEMORY WILL ALWAYS LAST!

Even under the best circumstances, our place here on Earth is not permanant, and we can be called upon at any time by something greater; leaving our closest, cherished kids, family, and friends behind and left to feel immense pain and confusion. With your memory, we can strive to build upon what you began to create. We can persevere together and make you proud, then let you know all about it when we meet up with you again. Your wife and children will be watched over and prayed for.
