Young brother, it doesn't seem right for you to go ahead of us at your tender age. Yet, you knew service and dedication to your calling surpassed all. Your short watch is ended, we will attempt to stand in the gap. Rest easy, Officer Colley, rest peacefully. Deepest regret to those who love you, sympathy to MPD.

IN MEMORY OF POLICE OFFICER DAVID LEE COLLEY

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer David Lee Colley:

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 twenty-six police officers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of Montgomery, Alabama. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Police Officer David Lee Colley, of the Montgomery, Alabama, Police Department; who was killed in the line-of-duty on Saturday, April 4, 2015, when his patrol car collided with a tractor-trailer unit at the intersection of Narrow Lane Road and East South Boulevard in Montgomery, Alabama, while responding to an urgent call for police assistance.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Police Officer David Lee Colley. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Police Officer David Lee Colley 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 Montgomery, Alabama, help them to faithfully equip their police officers with the best tools to protect their community. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of the Montgomery, Alabama, to remember to pay their police officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of Montgomery, Alabama, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their community.

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 Police Officer David Lee Colley 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, Police Officer David Lee Colley, 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.

I had the opportunity to work with Colley and he was an outstanding officer. He went above and beyond the job description and always did his best. He could make anyone smile or laugh and put his family first! Although I feel he was taken away from us much to early, he is now in the best place and that is in heaven with our Heavenly Father! Love you brother and rest in piece. We will take it from here.
