Your heroism and service is honored today, the first 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 remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.


Rest In Peace

Tommorrow will be the first anniversary of your senseless murder by a monster that should never have been let out of prison. Even though I did not know you, I think of you often, and pray that your family, fellow Lakewood officers and Washington State Patrol troopers, as well as your friends can somehow find peace knowing that you will never be forgotten. God bless your soul!!

To Officer Ronnie Owens: We know that you are in a good place and still watching over your family. Never a day goes by that our family doesn't think about the sacrifice that you and your fellow officers made for our community. Thank you just doesn't seem enough, but we do thank you from the bottom our hearts and still pray for you and your family every day.

To Officer Owens Family: Thank you for sharing Ronnie with the community. It is a much better place for us all because you did. The pain will never go away but hopefully it will ease it bit. There are reminders everywhere in our community that show what a great man Ronnie was.

God Bless you all from another WHS Proud Patriot Family.

I am just one citizen that appreciates and supports the law enforcement officers of our communities. I pray that no other officers have to endure what these officers and the family members continue to endure. We will not forget you!

Hey R-Dub,

I still find it hard to believe that I can't pickup the phone and call you and set some time aside to go tear it up on the dirt bikes. I still to this day open my e-mail and expect to find one of those crazy e-mails you would send me. I miss you buddy. But I know that you are in a better place. I just wish we could have hung out one last time. You are a great friend and you still bring out the best in all of us that had the privelege of knowing you and working with you. You are a true hero in every sense. I know I speak from every one in the state patrol when I say you will never be forgotten and you will always remain in or hearts. Rest in peace my friend.

Ronnie,

It’s been over three months since I last saw your goofy smile. As I sit here firming up my travel plans for the National LE Memorial visit, I can’t help but to sit in my patrol car and come nearly to tears. Last week we went to your old HS where they named the baseball field in your honor. I continue to be overwhelmed by the community support and I want you always to know that your little angle will never need anything. I still remember when we started with Lakewood, coming from the state patrol they thought it would be good for us to partner up. I remember sitting in the driver’s seat with you in the passenger seat. I looked at you and asked you if you knew what you were doing being a city cop and you said "nope do you". I said nope but I guess we will find out!!!!! I always looked to you as a big brother. Not just cause you were bigger than me but because you were bigger than life. You will always be my big brother!!!!!!

It's been 70 days and it feels like only yesterday and it also feels like a lifetime. You and your family are in my prayers and will not be forgotten.

Comrade in Arms

When we were young we played cops ‘n robbers,
We argued who would be the one in blue,
‘Cause the good-guys always won,
And before the day was done,
The bad-guys always got their due.

There were’nt no shades of gray in ol’ Dodge City,
Our TV heroes kept it black and white,
Marshal Dillon always knew
Exactly what to do
And in the end things always turned out right.

And we were always strong and ever fearless,
‘Cause we could shoot our way out of all harm,
And we were quite a team
As we shared our childhood dream,
Me and you, my comrade in arms.


As we grew up we never did quit dreaming,
And then one day it finally came to be,
I pound those busy streets,
As I walk the city beat,
And you became the sheriff’s deputy,

We went from cocky young-guns to old soldiers,
With time we learned how much we didn’t know,
At our favorite all-night diner,
Our war stories grew finer,
Like fish-tales, with each time they were told.

Though we never found the glory we once dreamed of,
We swore the lives we lived were somehow charmed,
And we were quite a team,
As we shared our childhood dream,
Me and you, my comrade in arms.

Now today the flag’s half-staffed down at the courthouse,
And our badges, like our hearts, they bear dark scars,
We cried when they played Taps,
In the church yard as you passed,
And I walked your sobbing widow to the car.

Though I can’t recall a time I felt so weary,
A certain comfort bears me through this painful storm,
‘Cause I know we were quite a team,
And we lived that childhood dream,
Me and you, my comrade in arms.

Me and you, my comrade in arms.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Officer Owens and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever.

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Officer Owens, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Officer Owens is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family, and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

It was their duty to serve; it is ours to remember.
