Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

This is not only a tragedy for Officer Mikatrians family but for the world we live in. Thank you for a job well done and making the sacrifice you have made for all of us not only in Ohio but the United States.

I know your family will be well cared for, but it cannot and will not erase a pain that most of us will never know. God bless them and keep them safe and help them find peace in knowing that so many are praying for them.

Thank you Patrolman Miktarian for a job well done.

To Twinsburg officers: I have a father who is a Cleveland Hts. officer and unfortunately can relate to the pain you feel and the great loss you have suffered in losing a brother officer. I am praying for you and will ask God to watch over you as you move forward and continue to serve the community. I am grateful for such an officer that was a genuinely good person in all aspects of his life. Twinsburg has suffered a terrible, terrible loss. To his wife and baby Thea, my prayers are for you as well. My heart hurts for you everytime I hear about this story. God's grace will be sufficient and I hope you find some comfort in how much people loved Josh and want to be there for you as well. God bless you all and may Officer Josh Miktarian rest in peace.

As a Police Officer with a wife, a 3 year old daughter, and another little one on the way any day, my heart breaks for Officer Maktarian, his wife, and his little girl. When every shift ends I thank God that I am able to return home to my family, and sadly because of some thug, Josh wasn't able to return home Sunday morning. Josh, I ask that you please look over all of your brothers and sisters in Blue as you patrol the streets of Heaven. Holly, please know that the law enforcement community will never leave you or Thea. We love you and are here for you.

God Bless You Josh,
A fellow Brother in Blue
