We will never forget another hero Officer Crain. Never in my career would we think to bury one our own killed by one who fought same battles. May God bless Michael's soul.

Your actions speak for itself! You answered your calling, and ran to the danger. This killer stated his intent, and targets! And you engaged him! The Lord will watch over your wife, children, and family. All who know and love you, as we'll as your brothers and sisters of the badge salute you. I never had the honor of knowing you, but I had the privilege of knowing and working with your dad. I am sure you are as good a man as he. Take your place as a guardian Angel, you have proven your worth to do so!

Your brave and honorable actions will never be forgotten. You chose to fight what the rest fear and went toe toe with evil. In doing so you placed yourself in harms way so that others wouldn't have to. I thank you for your service, courage, and sacrifice. You have earned your wings. Job well done, rest easy my brother.

IF TODAY BE THE DAY
"If you ask to do battle with me this day,
you will receive the best that I am capable of giving.
It may not be enough, but it will be everything I have to give,
and it will be impressive.
I have kept myself in peak physical condition, schooled myself in martial arts, and have become proficient in the application of combat tactics. You may defeat me, but you will be lucky to escape with your life. You may kill me, but I am willing to die if necessary. I have been close enough to it on enough occasions that it no longer concerns me. But I do fear the loss of my honor, and would rather die fighting than to have it said that I was without courage...."
By Brian Terry
Detective MacKay my prayers go out to you, your family, your friends and your department. You were a friend, a son, a husband, a father and most of all a HERO! You will always be remembered and never forgotten!

P.S. - Say hello to Ron Ives up there for me, I know you both are already looking down on all of us.

There are no words that could ever express your bravery, your life or your love.
What can you say about a Man doing his duty, to serve and protect others with his bravery, his life and his love.
All I can say is:
"I wish I could take back this day....one day GOD...just this one day."
Be brave, live and love life as he would.
May you and your family be blessed; for all the blessings you have given to so many others my friend.
