Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

May God Bless you and your family. This is so tragic. Even though I did not know you personally, I feel the same pain as the fellow law enforcement officers who knew you well. You are a hero to everyone in Law Enforcement and most importantly to your family. Rest in Peace my friend.

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.

My prayers are with the Odessa PD during this difficult time. Our police family has endured another loss, but we will never forget. Lean on each other to find hope and keep fighting for those that cannot fight for them selves.
We'll take it from here brothers.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and fellow officers. How tragic this was for many! The Odessa Police Department has lost three good men. How hard it will be for this department to recover. I pray each day for the men and women that serve and protect, as well as for their families. Each day, never knowing if their loved one will return home.

Officer Marquez, your family and friends will never forget you and your bravery. Rest easy now in the arms of God who loves you and your family. For His peace awaits you all.

Please let your agency know you are in our pray and it is just a home made button but when we lose any officer i wear it to work everyday untill that officer is laid to rest i work in a doctors office here in Texarkana, Ar and try to keep us in the front of the peoples eye. My own son in law was hurt last week but the Lord granted him his life to return to work on Monday. Please know we are so hurt and if there is anything we can do for your agency or his family please fell free to tell us.
