My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Sgt. Carmikle. I had three very dear friends go down in a helo a couple of years ago in a marijuana eradication detail. Had it not been for the heroic acts of Sheriff-elect (then Captain) Kelly McLendon two of those men would have perished. The entire law enforcement community mourns the loss of one our brethren even if we never met him. I pray that God will strenghten you through this terrible time and leave you with only the cherished memory of the loved and lost--Sleep on, Brother.

Sergeant Monty Carmikle,

The circumstances of your death are discouraging. As law officers we go to work knowing that the unexpected can happen, but when it does we cannot help but questioning the fairness of it all. Being a law officer is special because of the danger-factors that reside in all the risks of our duty. We do it anyway. We do it because our call is special in itself. The work hours on the holidays the weekends, and the changes in schedule are all inherent in the job. We do it anyway. Others cite the dangers, the poor schedul and the less-than-adequate pay most of the time. We do it anyway. When tragedy strikes and takes a brother or sister law officer from our midst we cringe because we know that it is part of the risks we don't really wish to take, but...we do it anyway. Our hearts are always heavy when we lose one of our own. Our thoughts and prayers are now with the Carmike family.

To you, sir, I render a final salute.

To the family and friends of Sgt. Monty Carmikle and the members of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you have suffered when Sgt. Carmikle was tragically killed.

To his family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in the Bay Area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Monty gave to his community and the citizens of Arkansas, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on November 16, 2008.

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.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Canon City, CO
