Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Walter Kent Mundell, Jr.
One year ago today you were trying cut a guy a Christmas break and get his uninvited, intoxicated self out of the house. You paid for your kindness with your life, but you now have life eternal in Heaven.
You are not forgotten; God bless you, Deputy Sheriff Mundell.

Dear Kent - although we never met, your bravery and valor has impacted my family enormously. Your sergeant is married to my niece. Because of your sacrifice, you saved not only his life, but the lives of the others in the house. You were not only a co-worker, but a friend, and they miss you so much. While they honored you in public in Piece County and in DC this week, they also honor you in private. I know that God welcomed you with open arms because there is no greater love than to lay down your life for others.

Hey Kent,
I'm on dayshift now if you can believe it!! I know, I know - you and I on dayshift was just not something we ever though we belonged on, but nonetheless I'm here and I miss you like crazy.
Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you, and we miss you very, very much. Nothing like a "Woooo hoooo!" to get our day going.
You take care and watch over everyone. It's just not the same without you, brother. It's just not.

I am very sorry to see the loss of Deputy Mundell. I met Kent last January while at the DHS Hazmat training in Anniston Alabama. I sat next to him on the bus ride from the airport and immediately discovered he was one of the most upbeat and friendliest people I've ever met. It was my first trip to the facility and he took it upon himself to help me become familiar with their layout and procedures. We also spoke about coming from the same area of the country and enjoying our visit to the south. He talked about getting a new pickup and planning a road trip with his family for BMX racing.
He left no doubt in my mind he was not only an excellent Law Enforcement Officer but a great dad and husband. He openly expressed to a total stranger how much he loved spending time with his family. I can only imagine he was an incredible person to work with as well.
I'm a person who only knew Kent for one week but he left an impression, and I can only feel sorrow for his loss. I pray for his Family both at home and in Law Enforcement.

It's January 18th and I'm thinking about you and I'm crying and I hope that the pain stops someday. I went to the movies with Austin today and he is such an awesome little man, and he's so strong. I wish I could talk to you face to face right now instead of crying. I love you Uncle and I hate this.

I stood in the Tacoma Dome along with thousands of your Brothers and Sisters to offer your Family and Friends a small bit of comfort in this awful time. I only hope that our gesture was successful in some small way. Rest in Peace, Brother, and know that you were loved and respected by your entire community.

My Dearest Family and Friends
Somethings I'd like to say but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from Heaven where I dwell with Our Lord above. where there's no more tears or sadness just eternal Love. Please don't be unhappy because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you every morning,noon and Night.
The Day I had to leave you when my Life on earth was through God picked me up and hugged me and He said I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, You were missed while you were gone. As for your Dearest Family they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan. Theres so much we have to do to help our Moral Man.
Then God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do, and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.
I'll be beside you everyday and through out the years, And when your sad. I'm standing there to wipe away your tears.
When You lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight God and I are close you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth and all the loving years, because your only human they are bound to bring you tears.
Please don't be afraid to cry, it does releive the pain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, But if I were to tell you You wouldn't understand.One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.
To My many Friends, Trust God knows what is best.I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest.
So, If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain, then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that with my life. it was worth while,Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
If you meet somebody who is down and feeling low just lend a hand and pick him up as on your way you go.
When Your walking down the street and you've got me on your mind just know Im walking in your footstep only a half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentel breeze or wind upon your face thats me just giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.
I will always love you from the land way up above We'll be in touch again soon
PS God sends his Love.
