Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" (John 15:13)

May the Lord Jesus wrap his arms around the family and friends of Officer Owens. No one can ease their pain in this world, but He who is greater than this world will heal you all.

Celebrate Derek's life and accomplishments. Never forget the sacrifice he made for his family, friends, community and nation.

We won't forget.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the line of duty death of Police Officer Derek Owens. I have had the pleasure to know several fine men and women of the Cleveland Police Department. I am certain Derek is no different. My prayers are with his family, friends and colleagues as they begin to absorb the great loss. This loss knows no boundries within our family of blue. Thank-you for your service and sacrifice.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Officer Owens and the Cleveland Police Department, and my heart breaks at the thought of another law enforcement loss. His bravery is an example to me, and should be to the citizens of Cleveland. It takes a special person to run into danger while most would run from it. May justice prevail over the cowards, and may God be with Officer Owen's wife, children, and the entire Cleveland PD.

I am so hurt by this needless loss. To imagine Derek not here and not full of life is too much to think about. He was always making us laugh. I never remember seeing him down. He is an example to all of us to live life to the fullest and serve others despite ourselves. His life was SURELY NOT LIVED IN VAIN. My prayers of comfort go out to his family and to Erica. God bless and keep you.
