Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deputy Smith known as Smitty to his friends and coworkers, will be more than missed. He was another Dad to me, he trained me and taught me everything I know about my position. The entire jail including staff thought he was my actual father. He protected me guided me and showed me how to handle some of the jobs worst parts with a smile on my face! He was a great and loving father to his kids and even tho his size and looks could make a grizzly bear poop his fur Smitty was our shifts own Teddy Bear! I will love and miss you always Smitty! Rest in peace!

TO:The family;loved ones;friends and department members: A POLICE OFFICER'S PRAYER:--- O, gentle Lord! Keep the day/night watch with me. As I begin my tour of duty,I ask your protection from all mental,physical and spiritual harm. Sustain me with the knowledge that I am doing your work,endeavoring to keep peace among your people. Help me to be just as I enforce the law without prejudice or favor to anyone. May I be courageous but not reckless in carrying out my duties. Support me with your consoling power when I am tempted to think no one really cares and that I am taken for granted. Sustain in me the conviction that so many thousands do care and are grateful for my presence. Grant that I may be loyal to my partner and my fellow officers,and that I may back them up effectively when called upon for assistance. Lord,I ask that I may return safely,after my tour of duty,to my loved ones and those who love me. I pray that I may be a good and honorable police officer ;and after my tour of duty is over here on earth,may I enjoy the peace and happiness of heaven that you have promised to those who serve you well.AMEN.***REST IN PEACE
