I love you and miss you so much. There is such a big hole in my heart. I don't think it will ever heal. I am so proud of all you had accomplished in your life, all the lives you helped and touched. I smile when I think of you as a child. You were beautiful, full of energy and always had a smile for everyone. You were the first person to meet the neighbors. You played hard and worked hard.

From the time you were 7, you wanted to be a policeman. You rode with the Frederick, Md. police as ride along, when you were a teenager. They told you to join the Marines and become an MP, if you wanted to become a cop later. You did. 4 years later, you were a Marine Sgt. in the MP's. You went right through the Police Academy and became your dream-a police officer with JSO. You once told me you would never retire, because you loved your job. You finished college while on the job and I loved the man you had become.

But I think you knew your greatest accomplishment was Micheal. You loved that boy so much. I know he misses you, but remembers all the time you spent with him. I don't know if you or Micheal loved OPAA football more. You were a beloved coach. I'm so glad you and Micheal had your dream trip to Kansas to hunt buffalo. I look at your picture of you and Micheal and the buffalo and can see how proud Micheal was to have you as his father. Micheal is your legacy. Chris, you will never die, as long as we remember you. Happy Birthday, my son.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the first anniversary week of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I am holding your wife and son in thought and prayer today.

Rest In Peace

Chris-When I first met you when we were 17 we had too much Jolt cola and couldn't stop laughing. Everything seemed funny! You were my high school sweetheart although we lived over 3000 miles from each other. Everyone thought I was crazy to travel to Maryland from California to attend your senior prom! I am grateful for the years we had together. We lost touch many times but always seemed to find each other again. Terry and Michael, you were also blessed for the time you had with him. Linda and Mark, your son will always be in everyone's heart. With him definitely goes a piece of me. Even though you won't see your 39th birthday on August 3rd, happy birthday Chris. Loving you always and forever.

Commander Kane, every time I work at night, I write your initials in the rider part of the MDC. You were always there at night when I needed help and you would always answer you cell phone when I had a question. I still call you Commander Kane because you would always try bossing me around as if you still were in the Marine Corps..lol...I miss your sense of humor and your work ethics. I also actually miss you rejecting my reports for forgetting a period or a comma believe it or not…lol.. May God bless you and your family.

I wish there were words to truly express my gratitude and graciousness our family has been given throughout the community and the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and departments throughout the country. Chris coached our son's football team and the boy's on the team still support my son and grieve the loss of their coach. Chris died 4 days before our son turned 12 and "difficult" was truly a large understatement for my son and his teammates. I learned amazing things from those twelve year old boys about true friendship, dedication, brotherhood and what it means to be a team. Chris had already learned these lessons from the Marine Corp. and being a police officer. The support my son and I have received from all over the country has been amazing. I continue to meet people who have at some time or place met Chris( he always left an impression)and have wonderful stories to tell me. If you knew him you were fortunate. If you didn't, I will tell you he was not only a wonderful officer but an even better dad and husband. My son and I miss him everyday and try to remember all the really funny things he did, not to just make us laugh, but that was the person he truly was. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and their amazing personnel have made this incredibly difficult time so much easier for our family and the group C.O.P.S. have also been incredibly supportive. I simply do not know what families without that wonderful support system do to handle the situation. I thank both the Sheriff's Office and C.O.P.S. and the entire law enforcement community for the loving support and kindness you have shown for myself and my son.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Everytime I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Kane. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on face book. You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Christopher, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Christopher's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Christopher's life was about so much more than the way he died. Christopher will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Officer Kane, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been almost six years but we still miss him terribly.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)
