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.

Dear Paige and Hunter: As that fateful anniversary approaches, I am finding myself thinking how lucky we are to have had wonderful people such as William in our lives, even if only for a short while. I didn't know him personally, but yet I did, as we are all loving brothers and sisters, and the pain is always there. I was very proud to sit in the annex gym in the church in Boone, and weep as the State Trooper spoke. GOD gave us a wonderful man, and he is not forgotten. My warmest thoughts go out to you, Hunter and all the family.

I remember this it was aweful to know that so young and expecting his life was taken by a douchbag that had nothing else better to do I may not like all the popo where I live but I WOULD NEVER hurt one of them and I respect the ones who don't let the badge and privlage not RIGHT go to there head. We lost a officer I'm not sure how to put them up here but I did respect him

Had the opportunity to listen to your wife talk about you in a class this week. Never had the chance to meet you but your courage and strength carry on through her. Thank you for your sacrifice. You will never be forgotten. Rest in peace brother, we have the watch from here.

I didn't know you but I do know of your sacrifice. Thank you for bravely and unselfishly serving. Although your physical presence is not here you live on fully and mightily through the witness you left behind, your story. What a precious testament of what God done and is Still doing through your life! God takes a life, a portrait of doom snd despair, changes it, painting it beautiful. That masterful artist breathes life into His work even now, reaching others. Your work here on earth is not done, you serve now in the highest of all callings, increasing Gods kingdom, reaching the unreached through your story! I pray your family finds comfort in knowing how powerful your work in Christ is still alive today, no less than before God called you home in His presence.

what's so bad is that the obituary on this scum portrayed him to be an upstanding citizen, instead of reporting the truth that he was a no good cop killer that commited suicide.

We honor your service to your community as a law enforcement officer and you will always be remembered and revered. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of our entire family, I wish to extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Deputy Mast was killed. May his loved ones continue to be supported by their law enforcement family and other police survivors. Our family grieves with you and for you. To his family, you are in my heart's embrace today.

My son was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005, and he too was awaiting the birth of his first child. There is such heartbreak in knowing that a child will be born without his father to guide him because of another person's evilness. I will keep your family in my prayers, and wish you many blessed days with the baby.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinguished service Deputy William Mast gave to his community and the citizens of my home state of North Carolina and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on July 26, 2012.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

I remember when William was born, his folks so proud setting in church with him. I saw him grow and become a very bright, energetic and outstanding law enforcement officer. I'll miss him, but I'll miss that smile more than anything! Rest In Peace My Friend!
