Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

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 Kenyon 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.

Kenyon's magnificant gift of life through organ donation not only saved numerous lives, but will be a source of comfort to his family.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinguished service Officer Youngstrom gave to his community and the citizens of California and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 6, 2012.

My prayers and deepest respects to Officer Youngstrom and his family and to the officers of the CHP who work to keep our highways safer. You are all to be honored and Officer Youngstrom depicts all the true qualities of a HERO with his years of service to his country and community as well as continuing to serve even in death by donating his organs! Officer Youngstrom's youngest son's memorial words evidence what a wonderful father he was. He will be missed but never forgotten and he lives on not only through his family, but through his giving of himself in so many ways serving mankind.

Rest in peace Brother....we have the watch.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Why is such a good person taken from us when they still should have a long life ahead of them with so much to give and enjoy. Having lost a brother at age 19 in Vietnam 1968, almost 50 years later I still ask that question. Why?
My heart goes out to the family of Kenyon. Rest in Peace Kenyon, you are at peace now and I am sure will serve as a Guardian Angel to many.

Thank you, Sir. Your job is done. They are having a beautiful memorial service for you right now.

The family allowed the media to live feed your service so we could watch at work or home to honor you. We are blessed to be able to participate although we could not attend.

Rest in Peace, CHP Officer Youngstrom.
You and your family will never be Forgotten.

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"

My condolences to Kenyon's friends, family and fellow officers. I work near the 680 freeway and could hear numerous sirens responding from Walnut Creek PD, my worst fears were confirmed. I worked five shifrs with a LASD deputy that was killed on duty, I think of him often, now Kenyon will live on with me.
