Officer Kelly, my heart goes out to you and your family. I remember you from when I used to work Medic 2 station and you were at Zone 3. You always took care of us on calls, even when we didn't request assistance, you were there to help us out. You will not be forgotten.

I am deeply saddened by the LOD death of Eric Kelly. The heartfelt appreciation of a truly grateful American citizen goes out to the family and friends of Eric Kelly, who served honorably and faithfully, answering the call of duty when he was needed.
Please express my sympathy and deepest condolences to their families, and that they are in my prayers during this time of grief. He is a true hero, and I hope the fact that he is honored by so many brings them some comfort in this time of loss. May they feel the comfort and love from across this nation embrace them and hold them up during this difficult time. We will not forget him and will forever be in his debt for all he has done for us.
The officers of the Pittsburgh Police Department are in my prayers during this dark time as they continue the mission of making our world a safer place. To each of you I say a big “Thank You” for doing what you do everyday. Thank you for going into “the office” when you don’t feel like it. Thank you for standing out and directing traffic in the cold. Thank you for working the night shift when we are safe in bed. Thank you for putting on that uniform everyday. You are in my prayers.

Kelly family, please do not hold your head's down low, instead keep it high. Eric is and will always be known as a true hero and for that you are to be proud. For people like Eric are what set our nation apart from all others. American Law Enforcement Officers are known for their unselfish acts to help others and place themselves into harms way at a moments notice. We do this not because we have to, but because it is the right thing to do. This is what makes this the best place on earth to live. Eric rest assured we will keep your family safe and embrace them during their times of grievence as you keep a watchful eye from above. Thank you brother for your years of service. You and your family are my HERO. God speed.....
