Chris was real people, raw/abrupt and brutally honest, he was a great co-worker and friend; I'll never forget his keen intellect that he always disguised behind that rough neck, bikeresque image. Perhaps, now you'll get to San Diego and beat me to the punch. My next visit, will be a drink at that Irish Pub on PB you talked so fondly about. RIP Brother.

IN MEMORY OF CORRECTIONS OFFICER V CHRISTOPHER DAVIS

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Corrections Officer V Christopher Davis:

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 sixty-one correctional officers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of the State of Texas. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Correctional Officer V Christopher Davis, of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice – Institutional Division; who was killed in-the-line of duty, along with Correctional Officer V Eligio Garcia, when they lost control of their prison bus and collided with a train on I-20 near Penwell, Texas on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at about 0700 hours. Some eight inmates were also killed in the collision.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Correctional Officer V Christopher Davis. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Correctional Officer V Christopher Davis 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 the State of Texas help them to faithfully equip their law enforcement officers with the best tools to protect their state. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of the State of Texas to remember to pay their law enforcement officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of the State of 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 state.

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 Correctional Officer V Christopher Davis 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.

Now, Correctional Officer V Christopher Davis, 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. Amen.

In His Service,
