What an amazing man you must have been, to take on the job of Sheriff at your age. How tragic that you were taken from this life in such a brutal way. We can only hope that your murderer faced true justice, if not in this world, then in the next.

On this 211th anniversary of your murder and as the first so far known Law Enforcement Officer to make that ultimate sacrifice on this particular date, I honor your memory.

God Bless you and may your rest be eternally peaceful, Brother.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 109th anniversary year of your death. I am privileged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.
