To the family and colleagues of Officer Kevin Ambrose, my heart is filled with great sadness at the lost of your loved one and fellow officer.
We in the law enforcement community both active and retired, having walked the line of good over evil, knowing that at any moment a call for help may require us to make the ultimate sacrifice for our fellow man.
Law Enforcement is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.

I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
You left us doing what you chose to do.
What you were trained to do.
Performing the oath you sworn to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do.....serving your community making a better place for us all.

Rest in Peace my brother, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

A prayer for a brother!

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

I remember Officer Ambrose as a child growing up working in the "Hotel" area of Springfield in my neighborhood of Forest Park. He was a very caring Officer who was always asking me how I was doing and if I was staying out of trouble. I DID get into trouble and ended up on the wrong side of the law, but Officer Ambrose never turned away and told me that as long as I learned from my mistakes, then getting into trouble was worth it. I never understood it then, but as I got older, I understood it.

Thank You Officer Ambrose for how you showed me your concern and I won't forget you for the lessons that you always tried to teach me. You will be missed by not only your family and fellow Officers, but by the people that you have had interaction with and always spent time to stop and talk with and just to show them that you were listening. I was NEVER perfect, but at least you made me feel like I mattered. Rest in Peace, Sir.
