I had the opportunity to assist Deputy Lane on a traffic stop/arrest not too long ago. All I can say is that I wish I had known him better. My first impression of him was that he was a really great guy. My thoughts and prayer are with the family, friends and the RCSO family. Deputy Lane, Thank you for your dedication in serving our country and then continuing by serving our community, rest in peace brother in blue and godspeed to you.

There are no words to express the sorrow we feel on the loss of Deputy Lane. The members of the SC Highway Patrol have lost a true ally in the battle that all Law Enforcement face. May God bless his family and his agency. Remember Deputy Lane is a hero because of the way he "lived" his life.

I rode with Darrall part of one day and it was immediatelly clear that he would be an above average police officer. He cared about his family, his community, and this department. He will be missed. Rest in peace, brother.

"Letter From Heaven"
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from Heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and he said,'I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.'
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the days chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....In the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human they are bound to bring tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you would not understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you, and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one step at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you to;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...."My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low:
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go...from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...you're coming here to me.
I will always be with you!
So sorry for your loss and you are in our prayers.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
