Mark,
Edmund Burke once said, "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing". You did something, you made a difference everyday you served to protect the citizens on patrol. Thank you my brother for your exemplary service! I will never ever forget you and the time we patrolled the streets along with the many SWAT call-outs we responded to, side-by-side.

In God’s Arms
So many names
Upon the wall,
And God’s arms
Holds them all.
Fathers and sons,
Sisters too,
Died for the badge,
Died for the blue.
Hopes and dreams
Died also that day,
With their last breath
Such a sad price to pay.
Though others will follow
In their shoes,
There’s room for them
In God’s arms too.
In God’s loving arms
These men shall ever rest,
Their badges shining proudly
Upon their blue chests.

The entire law enforcement community is thankful that the monster who murdered you will never be able to commit another crime again. May your soul rest in peace with God, knowing that your family will be cared for. I pray that your children, as they get older, know what a courageous, selfless, caring person you were. You will never be forgotten!!

Dear Family,
I just want to let you know that my heart goes out to you your three children and the whole Lakewood Police Department...I have walked in your shoes and know what you are dealing with...
I lost my husband (Det. Jarrod B. Shivers) on 1/17/08 and it was the most difficult time of my life...Your husband Mark was a true hero and he did a job that not everyone can do...It takes a very "special" person and he filled those shoes...Just always keep his memory alive with not how he died but in the way he lived...That has truly helped me deal with the pain and loss...
With much love from my family to yours, Nicole Shivers
