Your family are in our thoughts and prayers. There is no way to explain the pain when someone gives their life to serving our communities and is taken away from us in such a senseless act. We have felt the pain and disbelief. Rest In Peace!

I am deeply saddened by the loss of yet another ambitious, dedicated,hard working Officer, and father. I did not know Mason,but I did attend his memorial service,and I was more than impressed of those who spoke in his honor. His friends and family spoke of his incredible wit and intelligence and his love for not only the JOB but especially for his wife and daughter. I am sorry for his brother and sister Officers,and for his wife and child as well as his parents and all those who loved him. DHPD lost a brother and close friend in 2006, and the advice I can offer is to visit this site often to honor Mason and especially to offer your support for his family. It really helps to see people all over the country offering their love and support. God Bless

My Dearest Family and Friends

Somethings I'd like to say but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from Heaven where I dwell with Our Lord above. where there's no more tears or sadness just eternal Love. Please don't be unhappy because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you every morning,noon and Night.

The 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 so badly as part of my big plan. Theres so much we have to do to help our Moral Man.
Then God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do, and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.
I'll be beside you everyday and through out the years, And when your sad. I'm standing there to wipe away your tears.
When You lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight God and I are close you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth and all the loving years, because your only human they are bound to bring you tears.

Please don't be afraid to cry, it does releive the pain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, But if I were to tell you You wouldn't understand.One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.

To My many Friends, Trust God knows what is best.I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest.

So, If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain, then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that with my life. it was worth while,Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
If you meet somebody who is down and feeling low just lend a hand and pick him up as on your way you go.
When Your walking down the street and you've got me on your mind just know Im walking in your footstep only a half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentel breeze or wind upon your face thats me just giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.
I will always love you from the land way up above We'll be in touch again soon
PS God sends his Love.
God Bless Your Family

All though we did not know one another Mason, it does not matter. Even though we wore different colored uniforms our goal was the same-to protect & serve. We'll take it from here my brother. Rest in peace my Brother in Blue.

Our prayers are with the family of Officer Samborski.Words can not express what we feel for you. We do understand the dedication of persons like Mason. I am a mother of a dedicated Michigan officer who attended his service in Oak Park. In October we lost a very dear friend, Deputy Sheriff Sarah Irene Haylett Jones.
Thank you for your service here on earth and may you now rest in peace Officer Mason Samborski.

Sarah,
My wife was lucky enough to have worked with Mason. She shared many stories with me of what a kind,funny, and good natured person he was. He was constantly talking about you and your daughter. I attended his funeral; and I think it was only fitting that the clouds parted, and sun shone down on us at the conclusion.
He will always be remembered as a hero to all of us who continue this job; we keep you in our thoughts and prayers always.
