Dan was such a nice guy. I worked with Dan for 17 years. He always had a smile on his face. He was always in a great mood. Dan was a Great Officer. I still think about Dan Often.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the second anniversary 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 pray for solace for all those who love and miss you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Rest In Peace

I had never seen these reflections of the people Dan had come in contact with.....Or the comments made in regards to honoring Dan as a fellow Officer....It really reinforces the kindness of my brother's nature....He is missed more and more everyday, but I do take comfort in the heartfelt words of everyone who wrote on his page!!!! I pray for all families of fallen officers. I wish I never had to know what End Of Watch meant......

I had the pleasure of meating Ofc Leach at the CCDC, Yes I was an inmate for a short time. Ofc Leach is the man that helped turn my life around. I was watching a tv program on the Las Vegas jail and at the end of the show it said this show is dedicated to Ofc Leach, I was shocked. My heart goes out to his family.

Thank You Ofc. Leach for your patience and understanding.
You'll be missed.

I did not know Dan well. However, I remember vividly and fondly playing basketball in drive way at his parent's house years ago. We had a great time. Super nice guy. I think the world of his family and his brother and I are still friends even though we are literally a continent apart.

I found myself the last two mornings watching the cameras for you, even though I knew you would not be showing up. I keep looking over at your empty chair.
I'm so happy to have been your partner and I know Eric was happy to be yours for the last few months.
You are missed so much by our Laughlin family. We will never forget you. We will take care of THF from here.
