I read this tragic story with profound sadness. He was a great man and officer. His death diminishes me. His loss is catastrophic for the greater community, for his permanent absence cannot be reversed.

Thinking of you today. May God shine his light down and provide peace to your wife and children. We'll never forget you and the sacrifice you gave. I am thinking also of your partner and fellow officers working on your squad the day you died. As officers we see some bad things, but none worse than having to see a friend, a brother, laying on the ground.

Please God may there never be another. We love and miss you..always.

I am a citizen and employed in a carwash in Fargo, ND. I saw a bumper sticker memorializing Officer Erfle, and for whatever reason is name stuck in my mind. So I researched him when I got home and found this page, and would like to add my prayers and thoughts for a good man who served his community and fellows well. God bless Officer Erfle's family and legacy.

I can't believe that tomorrow will be six years since you were taken from us. I miss you everyday. This summer the boys got to meet their new cousin Josephine. I so wish she could have known you. I will think of you tomorrow and all the good times we had and all of the things you taught me growing up.
Love you Uncle Nicki.
