Such a tragic end to career cut far too short. Any line of duty death hurts, but losing a member of the campus law enforcement community hits home for me all the more. May you rest in peace and may your utlimate sacrifice never be forgottten.

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 for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty. Upholding the oath you swore to do. Serving your community making a better and safer place for us all. Thank you, May you Rest in Peace Sir.

I have laid down my life in service to all of you.
I have been a part of the fabric that has held the line between your safety and your victimization. I have given my life so that others may live in peace. I have lived my life as a dedicated member of the greatest profession. There is no greater honor.

As I now become a part of the rich history of law enforcement, please remember me always for I have left behind those who loved and depended upon me.
My partners and my agency, please remember my family, their loss, and don’t let time soften your compassion for them.

You guard the gate now and I will continue my watch from above.

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND MAY YOUR FAMILY FIND COMFORT IN THE GOOD YOU HAVE DONE HERE ON EARTH.
