Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Somebody killed a Policeman today, and a part of America died. A piece of our country he swore to protect, will be buried with him at his side. The suspect that shot him will stand up in court, with counsel demanding his rights. While a young widowed mother must work for her kids, and spend many long, lonely nights. The beat that he walked was a battle field too, just as if he'd gone off to war. Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast, to his name they will add a gold star. Yes, somebody killed a policeman today, in your hometown or in mine. While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors, a cop put his life on the line. Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street, and he stands at each rookies side. He answered the call, of himself gave his all, And A Part Of America Died.

IN MEMORY OF CONSTABLE ROGER PARKER WHITE

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Constable Roger Parker White:

From the beginning of time after Cain killed his brother, Abel, there has been a need for law enforcement officers to protect the weak and to bring evildoers to justice. This work is necessary in a sinful world and is dangerous. In modern times, some eighteen hundred and twenty-nine law enforcement officers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of the State of Texas. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Constable Roger Parker White, of the El Paso County, Texas, Constable’s Office – Precinct 1; who was killed in the line-of-duty on Saturday, November 1, 2014, during an altercation with a subject while working an overtime assignment on the 400 block of Anthony Avenue in Canutillo, El Paso County, Texas.

“Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Constable Roger Parker White. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Constable Roger Parker White and honor his sacrifice. Be with the family, friends, and colleagues of this fallen hero. Comfort them and give them your strength. Guide those who seek to take care of the family of this hero. May those empowered to do so, care for them with integrity. In commemorating the death of this hero, help those who mourn to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition to the glorious life to come. They should look forward to that life to come with joy and thanksgiving.

As for the citizens of El Paso County, Texas, help them to faithfully equip their law enforcement officers with the best tools to protect their county. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of El Paso County, Texas, to remember to pay their law enforcement officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of El Paso County, Texas, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their county.

The time for mourning will soon pass. We have now remembered and celebrated the life lost in this great tragedy. As the family, friends, and colleagues of Constable Roger Parker White go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself!

Finally, Lord God, we pray for the families, friends, and colleagues of all the law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line-of-duty and we thank you for their sacrifices. Bless the lives of their families, friends, and colleagues so they might find healing. Help their law enforcement organizations support the families of these fallen heroes. Even though their deaths might have been senseless, make something good come out of these situations so that their law enforcement organizations and the communities in which they lived and served might be stronger because of their lives and their deaths. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

Now, Constable Roger Parker White, may the Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In His Service,
