Reflections for Police Officer Sean Louis Callahan
Officer Callahan, Rest well in the presence of the Lord.
To Your Family,
Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.
Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, “Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with loving, caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name, Amen”
I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for 22 months. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.

this was such a tragic and heartless thing that happened to Officer Callahan. being a dispatcher it's really hard to be able to get back in the game and no that his voice is no longer going to be heard on your radio. Officer Callahan, i know you were with us but a very short time, but i know we've talked on the radio several times. you were a good officer. one that played by the rules, knew the difference between what was right and wrong and did your best to protect the Clayton County community. you were an amazing person and the county has truely lost someone special in blue.
NEVER FORGET!

Sean, I was in awe at your funeral and am still amazed reading all of these reflections...I have a new respect for the Police Dept. I always have respected them, but I learned over the last week what a brotherhood they truly are. You have touched so many lives in your 4 months as a police officer!! You were a one of a kind person...I thank you for being a courageous policeman, but also for being the precious person that you were. You will always be in my prayers and thoughts. I'm glad you're with your dad now, but we miss you here on earth.....see you one day in our everlasting home.

A horrible ending to a young brothers career at the end of the year, taken away from us by a armed convict.
There is no rehabiliating violent offenders. Keep them locked up where they belong. This young brothers life is over. No family, no future, no career...nothing to look forward to. Taken by an animal that was released from it's zoo.
rest in peace brother.

Other than the immediate family (and I'm only guessing there), no one will nor should mourn the animal who killed you. YOU however are mourned by many, many who didn't even know you. Thank you for your service, you are a hero.
God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. (N.I.V.) Romans 13:2 consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
“A HERO IS”
One Who Never Hesitates To Tackle The Most Difficult Problems..
One Who Is Always By Your Side..
One Who Knows Right From Wrong..
One Who Acts With Pride..
A Hero Touches Every One Of Us,
Whether It Be Word Or Deed..
Always Tending To Those Who Find Themselves In Need..
When A Hero Leaves This Earth, Yes, It's Sad, But True..
All Too Many Times, The Hero Is Dressed In Blue.

My prayers and condolences are with the family and friends of this fallen hero.
