Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My condolences to the family and coworkers of Deputy Diana. His compassion for the child he tried to save speaks volumes about the type of person he was and I am proud to say I served in the same profession as he. I'm sure he has received his Heavenly reward and hope that he looks down and protects those who continue to serve. Rest in peace brother and thank you for your service.

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

The Lord knew our journey would be tough and the path we faced was going to be rough and so he blessed us with Sebastian, a truely honorable man who lived his life as a loving Christian; husband, father, warrior and friend.

When we were bruised and things were not falling into place as they were supposed to Sea Bass's sense of humor got us through the day with a grin and two big thumbs up.

When he was laughing his laughter filled the room with so much volume and happiness everyone of us stopped what we were doing to join in on the fun.

The Lord told us to be strong and unafraid and Sea Bass made sure we listened.

Deputy Diana,

You are a true hero and a shining example of law enforcement. Your actions gave life to not only one, but two infants and your family should be so proud of you!! I am so sorry that you have left this earth, but you are standing proudly next to GOD in your rightful place.

My condolences and prayers are being sent up for your family.

I did not know Deputy Diana. However I wish to send my condolences to his family. I know you are hurting now, but your husband, father, brother son, was a hero and shall always remain so in your eyes. The depths of his bravery will never be known except to his fellow officers who will love to tell you about his acts of bravery. May God's had of comfort be over you all as you remember your loved on.
