Died but not in vain. The stop was timely even though with fatal results. He was doing his job with fellow Officers. May he R.I.P. and his family and friends and fellow Officers recognize his faithful service. May God continue to bless his family with the knowledge that His(God's) presence and counsel are always near.

Please know most people are incredibly grateful for the job you do even though we don’t say it often. May your families, find some sort of peace in knowing that you are heroes. A hero is a person who does not put themselves first but rather one who looks to protect others and that is exactly what you all have done. I am profoundly sorry for your loss. You will never be forgotten, rest in peace, you certainly deserve it.

In our prayers forever.

An eternally grateful citizen
