On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Joseph was killed.

To the Matuskovic family, fellow deputies, and all who call Joseph beloved, 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 Deputy Matuskovic gave to his community and the citizens of South Carolina, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 8, 2014.

A man’s life is not measured by his wealth or status, but by what he does with his time on earth, be that many or just a few years. Deputy Sheriff Joseph Matuskovic did much with his years.

I stand in awe at the bravery of this young officer and the too many other officers who’s names grace these pages. In these current times I stand proud and strong in the knowledge that I do so, shoulder to shoulder with the men and women, worldwide, who also have the courage to serve as a Law Enforcement Officer for their community.

My deepest condolences to the family and colleagues of Deputy Sheriff Joseph Matuskovic. I will not forget his sacrifice and what he stood for, as a man, a fiancée, a father, a son, a friend and as a LEO.

My heart is grieving for the loss of this daddy, son, co-worker, and friend. As a surviving daughter, too, this loss is so great, especially for three so young. But his life was full of purpose and a passion to help others. I want his two precious girls and his son, to always know their daddy loved them to the moon and back, lived as a hero, and made a difference to all he helped. And to his parents, the loss of your child...unimaginable. Condolences. And to his CCSO brothers and sisters, your honoring of him was remarkable and overwhelming. May you begin healing from this great loss. Continued prayers. May you rest well, sir.

The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
The Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.

I honestly think we need to start getting citizens that have military background and or professional backgrounds that want to be a part of LE to be sworn in after training and a good background check, as reserve officers. We need to have a few million more officers that are citizens and commissioned on our streets. That is the link between full time and regular citizens. With more reserve officers on staff and in our communities there would be more safety. This is a war on violent crime.Why are we not putting more into our reserve ranks. These people could have intel on subjects that a fulltime officer wouldnt have. We need to add millions of reserve officers to our ranks. Thats my opinion and there will be more officer safety. God bless this officer. Lets stop these men and women from being added to the KIA list and do something about it... Thank you
