To Trooper Casper's family: Trevor made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the citizens of his community and State. He took a bad guy off the streets and most likely saved countless other lives in doing so. Take comfort in knowing that he is a true hero. His mission on earth has been accomplished although I know too soon, but God has other plans for him now. God Bless!

An Officer’s Heart
By Kathy Farace
I chose to work in law enforcement;
It’s my duty and my call.
I will serve no matter what the risk
In a crisis great or small.
Protecting life and liberties
From jeopardy and from theat.
No matter what the time or cause,
I’ll respond with no regret
The thin blue line of courage is a symbol that reflects,
The depth of strength to conquer,
Fear our commitment and respect.
Duty calls, the race begins, days end is unbeknown.
Though focused on the work at hand
My heart is back at home.
As an officer I know I’m not in this alone.
You stand with me by my side and pray my safety home.
I give you this special gift a heart for us to share;
Holding precious words of love far days so hard to bear.
Every moment of every day, in my heart you’ll always be.
We’ll never be far apart……You have “A Piece of Me”

To the parents and siblings of Trooper Casper my heart aches and tears flow as you begin this painful grief journey. May you find comfort in knowing your son was a hero. In your statement to the press you mentioned Trevor felt his purpose in life was to serve and protect others and he did exactly that. My condolences to you and the rest of the family, friends and his colleagues. Trooper Casper will never be forgotten for his bravery and service. Stand proud.

IN MEMORY OF TROOPER TREVOR CASPER
To the family, friends, and colleagues of Trooper Trevor Casper:
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, six state troopers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of the State of Wisconsin. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Trooper Trevor Casper, of the Wisconsin State Patrol; who was shot and killed in the line-of-duty on Tuesday, March 24, 2015, during a gun battle, while attempting to apprehend a bank robbery and murder suspect during a traffic stop on US Route 41, near the intersection of West Johnson Street, in Fond du lac, Wisconsin.
Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Trooper Trevor Casper. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Trooper Trevor Casper 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 Wisconsin, help them to faithfully equip their state troopers with the best tools to protect their state. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of the State of Wisconsin to remember to pay their state troopers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of the State of Wisconsin 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 Trooper Trevor Casper 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, Trooper Trevor Casper, 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,
