Reflections for Constable Robert Parker White
I was very shocked and dismayed by the news of Robert's passing, having known him for many years and worked with him for several of those years. I don't know that I've ever seen another who was more passionate in going about his duties, or supportive when another office or agency needed the assistance of his. He and I shared many laughs, especially those he playfully created at my expense. My heart is heavy.

On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Constable Robert White and the extended law enforcement family of the El Paso County Precinct 1, Texas Constable'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.

To my beloved brother Robert,
It seems like yesterday when we met but I knew we always remain friends for life. I met Robert White through a close friend of his while stationed in DPS Private Security in El Paso. His office assisted me in an undercover operation which was later used as a blueprint for other operations throughout the state. I worked with many of his Constables and they were always helpful to my needs. We remain friends even after I left in 2007 and when I left DPS in 2011.
Thank you my brother for never turning your back on me.
I may have lost a friend but Heaven gained an angel.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

To the family of Constable White, so long as you keep him forever in your hearts and minds, he will never truly be gone. The void cannot be filled, but your memories will keep him alive.
May the animal who murdered Constable White face true justice, if not in this world, then in the next.

Constable White,
Thank you for your service. 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, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”
I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over three years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.
Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.
