The loss of Deputy U.S. Marshal Derek Hotsinpiller is a tragic loss not only to his family and the U.S. Marshal Service, but the community as a whole. It is when we suffer a loss such as this that we come to reflect on the courage and dedication of our men and women in law enforcement, emergency services, and the military. My sincere thanks to those who serve and protect us, and my heartfelt condolences to the family, loved ones, co-workers, and friends of DUSM Hotsinpiller.

God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain; but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.


Rest in peace.

My heartfelt love and grief go out to Derek's family. I have known of the family for years through mutual friends and feel like I know the boys. I pray that your hearts be lifted up to God to take away some of the pain, if only those grieving with you could carry just a little of that pain and lighten the unbearable grief you feel we would all gladly to that. Just know that you are in our prayers that God will touch you gently and lift you up through the days ahead.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

My prayers are with your family. I know firsthand the dangers of entering a building, not knowing what is on the other side of the door. It takes a special and dedicated person to go into danger instead of retreating from it. I am proud to call you a brother Deputy U.S. Marshal, and know that you are in the company of heroes now. RIP.
