Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My thoughts and prayers to the families and co-workers/friends of these three officers. I can't begin to imagine the devastation you must be feeling losing three fine officers at once. May they rest in peace and may all of you find solice in the fact that they are together and that they will forever be remembered and be heros.

This is why I hate reading about domestic violence calls. Only God can serve justice in such a case as
this. It is deeply disturbing. Thank you for having the
courage to wear that uniform and I am so sorry your
life ended this way.

Glad to have you watching over us now with your two fellow officers(cpls.) from the great city of Odessa. Gob bless you and your family. All of you will be missed dearly by all. This whole ordeal is so sad. I wish you guys were here, but you were needed elsewhere. Thank you so much.

I want to thank Corporal Jones for his sacrifice for the many citizens of Odessa as well as the State of Texas. It takes a special kind of person to be a police officer. My family is full of police officers and while this is a tragedy I hope it will serve as inspiration to others like me who dream of one day putting on the badge. I also hope that it will be a wake up call to other officers that no call is "ROUTINE." I believe Heaven holds a special place for officers like Corporals Marquez, Jones, and Gardner, who put on a uniform many people hate and don't respect and still serve and protect the very people that dislike them. May their sacrifices never be forgotten. My prayers go out to their families and co-workers as well as all of the brave men and women who put on that uniform, never knowing for sure whether or not it will be their last.

My full prayers go out to you and your family, not only was one family impacted in Odessa but three at once. Not to mention, the friends, brothers in blue and citizens of this community. A tradegy of this magnitude is devastating to all, and I just want to say that even though you are suffering a horrific loss, that your loss is felt by many and please take comfort in knowing that people care and will be praying for the Odessa PD.

The loss of anyone is tragic. To lose three during such a violent incident, is truly sad.

As one who has lost three (including a classmate), my prayers go out to the Family and Friends of the Odessa, Texas Law Enforcement Community.

There are no words that can express my deep sorrow for your tragic and unimaginable losses. After 20 years as a reserve officer in L.A., I am now a civilian employee for a small department in Washington. Though I am no longer officially an officer, in my heart and soul I remain part of that special family. My heart truly aches for Odessa PD and the families and friends of Corporal Jones, Corporal Gardner, and Corporal Marquez. My tears flow at the thought of your pain and sorrow, and my prayers go out to all of you. Your fine officers have joined many who have gone before them and now watch over all of us. To Corporals Jones, Gardner, and Marquez, thank you for your dedicated service. Rest easy, my brothers. We have the watch.

It's hard to lose a brother, but to lose three, there aren't any words that can describe it. My heart felt sympathies go out to the families and friends of Corporals Marquez, Gardner and Jones. Your deaths are not in vain, you made the ultimate sacrifice for the good of humanity. That in itself makes all of you true heroes. Rest easy brothers.

My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to your family, friends, fellow brother and sister officers, and entire department. September 8th, both yourself and your two other fellow officers/Fallen Heros, all gave the ultimate sacrifice in serving and protecting the citizens of our country. It just breaks my heart when I come to this site, and see another name has been added. With great sadness, today I find 3 names added. I find there are no words perfect enough to honor each of you. There are no words right enough, or compassionate enough to express the true honor each of you deserve. I can promise each of you, and your families, that you will not be forgotten. I know that the Angels have taken you far into the heavens above, where as you are 10-4 forever more, in Gods loving arms. "A Hero does not become a Hero by their death, but by how they lived their life." God Bless you All!!
