Reflections for Police Officer Justin David Sollohub
13 years and it does not get easier. Still missing you every day.

Lord Jesus, as we watch America’s Peace Officers succumb to the wicked and evil in this world, Shot and Killed in the Line-of-Duty, it becomes difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Our communities are on the brink of exploding with tension. In light of the peace officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement agencies. Carry us through this time of strife, that through our struggles, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable. In Your mighty and holy name, I pray. Amen.
Holy Scriptures on Law Enforcement’s Mission:
“For the policeman [peace officer] does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don’t want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. The policeman [peace officer] is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he [the peace officer] will have you punished. He [the peace officer] is sent by God for that very purpose. Obey the laws, then, for two reasons: first, to keep from being punished, and second, just because you know you should.” [Romans 13:3-5 TLB]
[Jesus Said,] “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13 ESV]
And he [Jesus] said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” [Luke 23:43 ESV]
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God.” [Matthew 5:9 ESV]
“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 ESV]

Being brave, isn’t about not being scared…Being brave is doing what you must do, even when you do feel scared. May you be remembered for the love and care you gave to all those you came in contact with. I pray that your family be comforted by God with his tender love and peace. Thank you for all of the service you gave that only YOU could give. God bless!

John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

It is said that as long as a man is remembered, he never truly dies. This is especially true of Officer Sollohub. The reflections shown on this page definitely speak volumes of the man that Officer Sollohub was. As a Criminal Justice student at Jacksonville State I have stopped many times at the small Officer Down memorial in Brewer Hall that shows Officer Sollohub, along with two other CJ graduates, to reflect on my calling to become a Law Enforcement Officer in the future. I can only hope to positively impact as many lives as Officer Sollohub has, and I pray that my career will honor the men and women who have fallen in the line of duty. Thank you for being an inspiration, Officer Sollohub. Rest Easy.

I met Justin's parents at the Memorial Wall this year at Police Week, during the Police Unity Tour ride in. What beautiful people they are. Justin's name is on the same line as my father-in-law, Eugene J. Deckert. Both enrolled in 2012. The stories that are shared at that memorial are so heartbreaking, and yet the grief that is shared is a blessing to each survivor. We are not, and never will be, alone. RIP Justin. You are deeply loved and will never be forgotten.

I am grateful we still have my dad, as he spent 26 years "protecting and serving", but it still grieves my heart when one who stands on the thin blue line falls. It is senseless that these things happen, just like the 2 officers shot in the line of duty this past week in Mississippi.
I pray for all of those fallen, but mostly I pray for those they leave behind that have a hole in their heart that will never fully be filled again...

The loss of one officer is one two many, the sentence is appropriate there is never closure in a case like this. The officers parents are left empty and void sad ending to a promising future.
