My deepest condolences to the family, members of the department, and those served, at the loss of this leader. May faith, family, friends and time join together to ease everyone’s pain at this time of loss.
While many other career choices were certainly available, this officer chose to protect his fellow man, and for this we give everlasting thanks. As the Good Lord hath said, “Blessed are the Peacemakers.”
Thank you for your service, your convictions and moral character, as well as your devotion to duty. May you now rest in peace, knowing your fellow brothers and sisters will watch over your family and continue the Watch!

To the family and friends of Chief Randy Boykin and his fellow officers:
On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Chief Boykin.
To Chief Boykin's family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.
This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Chief Boykin gave to his community and the citizens of Mississippi, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on March 19, 2013.

Though I never knew him, he was part of my Law Enforcement family and I will mourn this deep loss the rest of my life. My heart aches with all the losses we have suffered, and continue to suffer, through the years. God is our only peace through such times. May family & friends feel the presence of the "God of All Comfort" as they endure the distressing days ahead. I join them in their agonizing grief & remember them in my prayers.

Daddy, I miss you more than words can express. I can't understand why this had to happen. I wish God would have given another 5, 10, 20 + more years. I hate that my sweet Robin will never know her Papaw. I love you always!

I am sorry to hear for the loss to your family Chief, the loss to your department, and the entire town. Enterprise, Mississippi is my home away from home. I'm hundreds of miles away but my heart is very near to Enterprise. We got the watch now Chief.

Your work is done here on Earth - Heaven has called upon you today, leaving so many words left to say. But now it's too late, for your time has come, words unspoken; I am sure everybody has some. Regrets and wishes are probably there too, but lasting forever are memories of you.
There have been many times that we waved to each other, but we were there for each other in time of need. Now it's time for us to say Good-Bye, until we meet again in heaven to fly. Now go and Patrol the Heavens Above and Watch Below those you Love. Thank you for your service.
