Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Joe you were an amazing deputy. You always gave me advice whether I wanted it or not. I saw you with your children and how much you adored them. For this I am saddened even more for your loss. I believe in The Lord and know you are in a way better place. You have my word that I will not forget your children and step children that you had to leave behind. This wasn't supposed to happen. I am confused and wish I could make sense of it all. I love you.

On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Deputy Sheriff Joseph Matuskovic and the extended law enforcement family of the Charleston County, South Carolina Sheriff's Office. Rest in Peace brother and watch over us.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper
