Detective Hobbs,

Rest well in the arms of God.

To Your Family,

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, “Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, family and loving, caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name, Amen”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for the past three years. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain

I was on my way in for my shift Monday when I heard about the loss of Detective John Hobbs. I grew up in Chandler, AZ and my brother works for the city of Phoenix, South Mountain Precinct so even though I no longer reside in Arizona, this still hits home.

From what I have been told, Detective Hobbs was one of the best. It's obvious he took the fight to the CHUD's daily and he gave his life doing so.

I didn't know know you sir but I wish I could have. You were one of God's warriors here on Earth that fought evil and protected the innocent. A true shepherd looking after His flock. I pray for God's blessing upon your family, friends and fellow brothers and sisters of Phoenix Police Department in this difficult time. I pray the Holy Spirit would grant peace and comfort to your loved ones with the memory and celebration of the warrior's life you led. You are a Hero sir and I look forward to meeting you one day brother. Rest easy in the arms of our Savior and enjoy patrolling the streets of Heaven now.

"It's always too soon, It's always too fast.
They're always too young, It's always so sad.
It ain't about the numbers, chiseled in concrete.
It's how they lived their life, in the dash between."
