Reflections for Trooper Eric Michael Workman
Rest in peace brother. Any time an LEO is murdered it is sad but especially so when the LEO is so young and new to the job. God bless the family, friends, and co-workers of Trooper Bailey and Trooper Workman in this time of tragic loss. Please, we have to do better searches but most of all, we just have to be safer all around and make sure we go home at the end of our shift. Our families depend on it. God bless the peacekeepers!

What a terrible day August 28th was for peace officers. Three officers shot and killed. Thank you, Trooper Workman for your dedication and service to the citizens of West By God Virginia; a place that we call our second home; where we can rest, find peace and contemplate our own peace officers shooting death. He died under similar circumstances and was your age. May the Good Lord hold your family, friends and fellow officers and troopers close in the palm if His hand as your travel through these dark days ahead. God Bless you real good, Trooper.

I was given the opportunity to work in Clay County for one night amidst this tragedy. The people of Clay had nothing but respect for you and Cpl Bailey.
Your service and subsequent ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten. It is so unfortunate that your family, the State of WV and those who live here will no longer have you here to serve and protect us.
May your name never be forgotten and you now live in eternal peace.
I'm praying for your family.
