TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OF HENDERSON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, DETECTIVE RANDALL "SHANE" THOMAS.

My heart is filled with great sadness at learning of the lost of your loved one and fellow Officer.
We in the law enforcement community are a family.
Though we may wear different uniforms and have different badges, shields, or stars pinned upon our chest.
We consist of many different agencies from across the nation, for we are Municipal Police Officers, Sheriff's Deputies, State Police Investigators, State Highway Patrol Troopers, Conservation Officers, Correctional Officers and Federal Agents just to name a few.
We patrol small towns, large cities, county roads and state highways.
Whether active duty or retired, we are one family, a law enforcement family, brothers and sisters bonded together by HONOR, SERVICE and PRIDE.
Daily we honor our fallen brothers and sisters never forgetting their sacrifice.
Daily our position is clear that we will SERVE and PROTECT our communities without faltering and with no hesitation.
Daily we show pride in our chosen profession LAW ENFORCEMENT, for we walk the line of GOOD over EVIL facing the unknown with COURAGE keeping our trust and faith in GOD.
We know that evil roam these streets and at any moment in the course of performing our duties the ultimate sacrifice might be required of us in the service to our community, for law enforcement is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.
I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
For you left us doing what you chose to do.
Performing a job you were trained to do.
Upholding the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do........SERVING and PROTECTING your community with HONOR and PRIDE making a better and safer place for us all.

FINAL CALL
DETECTIVE THOMAS STATUS........DETECTIVE THOMAS STATUS........DETECTIVE THOMAS STATUS........
ATTENTION ALL UNITS........HENDERSON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, DETECTIVE RANDALL "SHANE" THOMAS HAVING SERVED THE CITIZENS OF HENDERSON COUNTY IN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA WITH HONOR, PRIDE AND DISTINCTION IS NOW 10-42.
Rest in Peace my fallen Brother, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN !!!

Horse Mounted Officers, a very special breed apart, even from their motor officer brothers and sisters mounted upon Iron Horses. Horses (being raised with them, breaking them to ride, and drive single and double) have minds of their own.

Detective Thomas, I'm sure, was an inspiration to all. May your soul be blessed by The Holy Trinity as you have been with them from the moment your soul left your mortal body. Lord please comfort his family, his police brothers and sisters. Saint Micheal, please watch over those whom are still on Watch. I pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.
