Another sad story of an exceptional person killed trying to make a difference in someone else's life. The sad part is Officer Herron did what any person in Eastern Oregon would do to help another stranded motorist out. My heart and prayers go out to this family who live near my home town of Pendleton, may God grant you peace in this time of sorrow.

I worked with Buddy a few years at Arizona Department of Corrections before he had moved to Oregon. We had many great conversations about life and the job. Aside from the usual complaints about administration that many of us brothers and sisters always have, I never heard him complain about anything. Always ready to do the job and help others. He was so happy when he found out he got the job in Oregon and was preparing to move. He knew it was going to be a better life for him and his family. I did not realize until I read this article that it had been four years since I saw him. Seems like yesterday. May he rest in peace, and he watch over his family from above. It was a pleasure knowing and serving with you.

Quoting the closing lines from a Correctional Officers poem.

There was silence all around the Throne, where the Saints often trod. As the Correctional Officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, Correctional Officer, you've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets, you've done your time in Hell."
