To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 5th anniversary year 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 pray for solace for all those that call you beloved for I know both the pain and pride are forever. I thank them for sharing their memories of you through their reflections.

To Steve,
The first time I met you you had a way about you that impressed me. Your quiet gentle way that you spoke to everyone and treated everyone as if they were old friends was one of your best characteristics. I know my wife and her family really miss you. The short time that I knew you, you left a lasting impression on me. Rest in peace Uncle Steve.

Steve, thinking about you today as we mourn yet another officer killed in the line of duty here in Utah. I hope your family is doing well. My wife still remembers meeting you and being impressed with your "quiet demeanor." May you rest in peace.

In putting on my uniform this morning I came across and wore the one that I had permanently stitched a shroud across my badge in your remembrance. I think of you and your family often and hope that through time the tragic loss in their lives is eased at least partially. That they no longer see the violence or hate in the face of your attacker, but see the love and kindness that you represented by the man that you were. For your family I only hope they know that time has not abated our dedication to them but that they still fill many of our thoughts and prayers daily.

Great men serve our country but are not recognized in the manner they deserve. I honor your bravery and your service to your neighbors to your fellow man to us that can not protect our selves. I am a clerk at the county jail and I wait everyday to see the man who killed you sent away. I wait everyday faxing his paperwork everyday like clockwork at 1700, waiting for justice.

The Correctional Officers Prayer

Lord, I ask for courage...
Courage to face and conquer my own fears.
Courage to take me where others will not go.

I ask for strength...
Strength of body to protect others.
Strength of spirit to lead others.

I ask for dedication...
Dedication to my job, to do well.
Dedication to my community, to keep it safe.

Give me, Lord, concern for all those who trust me.
and compassion for those who need me.

And, please Lord, through it all
watch over me and keep me true.

Rest in peace, you will not be forgotten!

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to the Anderson family. Sgt. Anderson was a hero. I wish I could tell that it gets easier with time but so far, for our family, it hasn't. We lost our dear Kevin 19 months ago. The first anniversity of his death was on Thanksgiving day. I know of the kind of pain you must be feeling today. I hope you find comfort in your faith that you will be together in the eternities. Our belief in eternal life is what helps keep going. Claudia Orr, mother of Cpl. Kevin Shumway Orr E.O.W. 11/22/06

It's hard to explain to other "free people" just what being a correctional officer entails. Most of them really do believe that we just stand around with our gun (that we don't have in the first place) and boss people around. But, corrections is so much more than that. You put yourself in danger everyday. I am sorry for the loss of Officer Anderson and hope that his family can find the strength, not to go on w/o him, but to always keep his memory alive in their hearts.

I had the honor of working with Officer Anderson on several occasions at the District Court in Provo, he was the greatest man. He made an impact on everyone he met or transported, he treated all correction co-workers and prisoners with respect and dignity. I will always remember you and the impression you made on me, I will try to be as great as you. Thanks for your everlasting impression and ultimate sacrifice. K. Rasmussen UCSO

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Everytime I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the man they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Anderson. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Stephen, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Stephen's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Stephen's life was about so much more than the way he died. Stephen will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Officer Anderson, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been almost five years but we still miss him terribly.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

The day I was sworn in was the same day we lost a true hero. I am a Utah native and I was saddened to hear of the loss of Officer Anderson. I only hope that I can live up to the standard that great men and women such as Officer Anderson have set.

Sergeant Anderson thank you for your years of dedication and service. You will greatly be missed and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You have been a great example not only on duty but off duty as well. My wife had the pleasure of teaching two of your grandchildren at Elk Meadows Elem School, they spoke highly of you and love you so very much. You are a great man, person, coworker and friend. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

I was working as a Correctional Officer when you went down my brother. I did alot of armed transports. Your death made me think. My transports went different after that. You and your family have been in my prayers. May our Heavenly Father watch over your family.
